Is there a way to get a list of all external tables in use by Forms?

asked on January 14, 2021

I'm looking for an easy way to list out all of my BP Forms that have external lookups so i can identify what tables and views are in use and which ones are old and no longer needed and also, if i need to change a table, I need to know every form that needs to be edited.  Right now the only way i can see to do this is to manually go through every BP and every form and look at the lookup rules.  Extremely time consuming and tedious.

If you go into the Administration page and open Data Sources, you can see a list of all data sources along with the server, database name, database type, and how many processes are attached.

If you click on a data source, it shows the details including a list of the attached processes; that's not going to tell you which tables or views are in use, but it at least tells you what processes to look at.

Thanks Jason, 

I've already looked there and as you say, its not very helpful.  So my question to Laserfiche,  if a system admin that designs a bunch of forms leaves the org and there's a new person, why isnt there a better way for the new person to find this information out?

If you have access to the forms database you should be able to construct a query to get what you need.
