Title: Find How Many Times a Field is Used in "X" Reports
Post by: dmhackett8 on 13 Sep 2016 02:18:58 PM
Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a way to search all created reports for use of a specific field. For example, someone asks me if changing "x" field will affect any reports I've made. I've made MANY reports and can't remember all of them that reference a specific field.

Any easy way to check this?

Thanks,

Dave

If you have access to Framework Manager and the model for your package, you can do that quite easily.

Open Framework Manager and under Tools-->Find Report Dependencies gives you the list of reports impacted. If you are building a new Framework Model, I would recommend to use Durable Models feature.
