Impact of object deletion in reports

Hello,

I would like to know if it exists a way to show the impacts of a objet deletion on the documents of the referential.
I must delete a objet in double in the univers but I would like to be sure that nobody have document which use this object in the referential.
I don’t find anything about this topic in the documentation.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Vanessa.

Instead of deleating you can hide the object so that its not available to users.

I would group all the report and find out what objects are used first.

This utility in BOB download makes it easier to get the list of objects used in reports.

Send out a mail asking for users to submit their reports. Place all these reports under one folder. The link i had posted give further instructions.

That would just prevent users from creating new reports with the object. But – existing reports would still “work” with that object.
