Salesforce Data Usage Analyzer – Wiki

This wiki covers setup, configuration, and using the dashboard for the Salesforce Data Usage Analyzer tool.

What the tool does

• Connects to your Salesforce org via OAuth (Web Server Flow with PKCE).
• Reads metadata to list Custom and Standard Objects and their fields.
• Runs SOQL (or equivalent) to get total record counts and filled counts per field.
• Writes CSV and JSON into output/ with columns such as: Field API Name, Label, Total Records, Filled, Usage %.
• Builds a manifest so the dashboard can list all runs and switch between them.
• Opens an HTML dashboard in your browser so you can browse objects, filter by usage %, view charts, and export exclusion lists.

Wiki pages

• Getting Started – Requirements, config copy, Connected App setup, first run.
• Config Reference – All config file options (instance, OAuth, mode, objects, PII, exclusions).
