Hi…

Is it possible to know how many or which specific reports make use a particular Object created in the universe? I need to know this because this Field is going to be replaced and that those reports would be affected by the same. Therefore they all need to have that object replaced

Thanks in Anticipation :slight_smile:

One way to do this it to look in Bob’s Downloads forum…there are one or two tools you can use to audit a whole bunch of reports, producing I think either a VBA data provider or a csv file, which you can then report on.

Are you going to delete the old object or you are going to modify the definition of the object? If its latter you should fine and there shouldn’t be any problem and report should pick up the universe change automatically.
