What FieldRat - Salesforce Field Cleanup and Dependency Scanner does

Stop guessing which Salesforce fields are safe to delete.

FieldRat helps Salesforce admins and architects find low-usage fields, understand dependency risk, and retire fields with evidence. It combines Field Usage Analysis, native Quick Scan, cloud-assisted Deep Scan, Field Dictionary, Run Comparison, Scheduler, and cleanup dashboards in one managed package.

How it works:

1. Select an object, usage threshold, and field scope.

2. FieldRat analyzes field population at scale using Salesforce batch processing.

3. Review low-usage candidates before dependency scanning.

4. Run Quick Scan for native in-org checks, or Deep Scan for metadata ZIP analysis across 23 metadata types.

5. Review references, deletion risk score, cleanup evidence, and exports before retiring fields.

- Compare runs to track field-health drift and cleanup progress
