Friends,

Happy to share home grown solution to overcome field analysis problem. I was asked to remove unused fields in an Org with 40+ custom objects. At the onset, this looks like manual task of painfully trying to delete field and see whether SFDC throws an error or not.

Thought of creating application where user can search for field use across -

Validation Rule

Formula

Apex Trigger

Apex Class

VisualForce Pages

If the field is found to be use then a tabular format result shows the usage link.
