Any way to find out how many applications are using specific field from user profile.

Hi Community,

I do have one query ,  is there any way to find how many applications that are using specific field from user profile ( Assume that there is one field in user profile as first name or last name or user id etc.;)

How many custom applications are using that specific field .

Hi,

If the applications are custom, then they are created by someone in that organization, correct?
Those who created the custom app, should probably have the answer to this question.

Otherwise you can try some code searching and hopefully get some results as to how and where a specific field is used within that app.

Hi OlaN,
Yes, Applications are custom, Application created developers will know this information.
From studio, there will be option on top right hand side code search ,from here we will get the information.
But my query is, is there any alternative ways to get the details apart from this.

No, sorry, not that I know of. Unless you have this documented somewhere (and the documentation is correct and up-to-date) you really need to dive into the instance and find the dependencies yourself.

You can do a code search on the field or a dictionary search where the table/field is referenced. But there may be a huge difference whether you are looking for user id, which is probably used a lot, or just 'first name' which may just be used in emails/portals.
