# How does Power Admin for Jira detect the resolution usage?

This document explains how Power Admin identifies the usage and dependencies of resolutions in a Jira configuration.

### Resolution usage in workflows

Dependency is detected if a workflow participant's property refers to a resolution (by name or ID).

### Resolution usage in agile boards

Dependency is detected if:

- There is a reference to the resolution in the board's JQL entries (*Saved filters*, *Cardcolors*, *Quick filters*, *Subqueries*, *Swimlanes*).
- The card colors' configuration is based on a certain resolution.

### Resolution usage in filters

Dependency is detected if a filter’s JQL query refers to a certain resolution.

### Resolution usage in service projects

Dependency is detected when the resolution is referred to in *Request types*, *Queues*, *SLAs*, or *(Legacy) Automation rules*. Usage detection happens when the [service projects' cached index](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/228229159) is generated for the first time or when it’s refreshed.
