Field Dependency Finder

Can't get it to Work

I installed it in the sandbox but I keep getting the error: Apex CPU time limit exceeded An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (FDF) I have tried multiple times and every time I click on Field Dependency tab I get this same message. Let me know if there's any way to resolve this.

Works well, but . . . .

Very easy to install and use. It worked perfectly for finding custom fields that use other custom fields (one of my primary purposes), but I was disappointed that it doesn't show which reports use the field.

Can't Get it to work

I'm trying to test this out in my sandbox, and when I select the object, nothing loads. No fields to choose from or anything. It usually takes three times of clicking the "Field Dependency" tab before it actually loads the screen; usually gives an error of "Apex CPU time limit exceeded An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (FDF)" Given these issues, I would not recommend this.

Awesome App, could include workflows

this is an awesome app, and we have been looking for one like this for a long time. In our org, we do lot of development. Update on a single field affects lot of other places. It was difficult to find all its references. This app is a huge help. But it would great if you can include search on workflows , and on standard fields...

Good job

The app list all the custom fields on any standard or custom object and displays its impact on field is used by apex classes, visual force pages, triggers and components. It has a nice layout and does simplify the task of finding out the custom field dependency of all objects. Just a minor issue to report, when i was trying to post review from within the app it was redirecting to the home page of the app.

Awesome, time saving App!!!

This is an awesome app which saved my lot of time to find out dependencies of the custom fields in the following components VF, APEX and trigger (this was my requirement). Never expected something like this APP for Free on AppExchange. Kudos!!!

Good app but need to make it more user friendly..

I used this app to do an audit for one of my clients. The app does list all the custom fields on any standard or custom object and displays the impact of whether the field is used by apex classes, visual force pages, triggers and components. It displays a nice view but there are some things which would really help users. 1. When we export to excel, it keeps repeating 4 rows for each component like apex, visual force which makes it really useless to do any filtering in excel. Instead there should be 1 column for the field name, 1 column for the field component type like visual force, apex class which can make users do sorting in excel easily. Limitations 2. It does not do any impact analysis on standard fields in any standard or custom object. My recommendations 1. It would be really great if it can look at workflows, field updates, approval process , page layouts which can easily help admins to find dependencies quickly.. 2. Create a filter to show impacted records of fields instead of showing all fields which have no value.. Lastly, there is a bug. If 3 fields in an object are used in one apex class, it will only list one field as impacted and leave the rest. Overall it is a good app to do a quick spot check on an object and move on..

Tried it in the sandbox on account object and...

I got this error. "Maximum view state size limit (135KB) exceeded. Actual view state size for this page was 166.234K" But no other prompts or instructions. Happily change the review to 5 stars if you can make it work for me.

Good Application, Saves a lot of time

Good Ready to use module with less rework. Saves a lot Time in tracking dependencies. Recommended.

Only good for Custom Objects

I would rate this 5 stars if we can search on standard objects.
