Built-In Custom Field Impact on Reports View

Avatar

Employee

Have you ever tried to assess which reports would be impacted by changing or deleting a custom field? This idea addresses that: https://one.workfront.com/s/idea/0874X000000sYWZQA2/detail.

(Personally, I would never recommend deleting a field, however this may sometimes be necessary.)

Respond here if you'd be interested in providing early feedback on a concept. Thanks!

Count me in for giving feedback! I need something easier than exporting a report that has 12,000 lines and searching in Excel.

Me too! I spent 4 months assessing this information when I started at Google.

Hi Jeremy,

I'd be happy to chat, and in the interim, I invite folks to consider our Report all Report Details and Report Categories and Parameters solutions.

Hi @jeremy. I am not sure that finding fields for "deleting" is the issue. It's more about determining the impact a field change could have. We had to do this for a client. Use Case was about finding what reports were impacted by making the field "change" so that the report could be edited - (e.g. update a custom header).

One of my fellow consultants at Rego actually build something to help with this. Reach out to learn more.
