In a huge organization where we have many custom and standard objects and when we create various fields as per the requirements, there are chances that we end up creating multiple fields and at times might not be using those fields as needed or there may be instances where in we end up the Salesforce limit of field creation per object i.e. 1000 and then we have to look out for options which fields can we delete to accommodate new fields.Eliminating unnecessary fields will help with user adoption and efficiency and makes your org clean. So how can we achieve this i.e. underutilized fields?
We have an application called as Field trip that does this job for us, we have to install this manage package and this app gives us a very clear picture of the percentage utilization of fields across all the objects whether its standard object or custom object. This app can be downloaded from an App exchange for free!!!!
Field Trip lets you analyze the fields of any object, giving you instant insight into what percentage of your records (or a subset) have that specific field populated. Run reports on the standard and custom fields you have in Salesforce for a better understanding of which field are important to your organization.
With a simple install, an intuitive user interface, and an easy-to-export report, Field Trip has made analyzing your fields quick and painless.
Once installed, simply name your trip, select an object (e.g. Accounts) and, optionally add a filter (for record subsets). Then you will receive a report detailing field usage (or lack thereof), available for simple export.
