Hi,
I'm wondering if there is no EASY way to check all the places where a specific field is used within the whole system.
Use case .. I found an u_ field and wonder what it does and now need to check through all the client scripts, ui policies, businees rules, inbound actions .... etc ... to find out.
Isn't there a more easy way??
Global Search seems not be be set up in a way I would show me anything here ...

Hi,
There is no direct way to check this. You can check the dictionary of this field in Dictionary table and for finding the scripts that are using u_field, you have to search the same in script part of all the scripts:
Hope it helps!!
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Vem,
AFAIK there is no OOB functionality available to fulfill your requirement. If the 'u_field' is used in any of the scripts you can see it under result returned in 'POLICY' section of global search results. For checking whether it is used in other places. you can try customized search scripts which will search from the tables of your choice.
P.S: Please hit like, helpful or mark correct depending on impact of the response.
Regards,
Prashant
