Before you change, retire, or clean up a custom field, see what references it. Dependency Map evaluates the custom fields on one selected object and maps detected references across Apex, Flows, Workflow Rules, Validation Rules, formula fields, Reports, and Page Layouts into a review-ready workbook.
Read-only · No package install · No Connected App · Paid XLSX workbook
Opens dependencymap.keelcadence.com. Best run from desktop, since the diagnostic uses your active Salesforce browser session.
Use them together when your cleanup review calls for both. Each diagnostic runs independently and produces its own XLSX workbook. Run Field & Object Audit to surface cleanup review candidates, then use Dependency Map to review detected references within evaluated coverage before you make a change.
Enter code CLEANUP15 at checkout on either or both tools. Each purchase is billed and delivered separately.
Deleting or repurposing a Salesforce field that is quietly referenced elsewhere can break Flows, automations, formulas, and reports without warning.
Dependency Map gives admins and consultants a selected-object workbook for reviewing what references a field before they change, repurpose, or retire it.
What references this field, and is it safe to review changing it?
Evaluates the custom fields on one selected object per run. Findings are labeled Direct or Heuristic, and the Coverage & Collection record shows exactly what was evaluated, scope-capped, permission-limited, or intentionally not evaluated in V1 — so an empty category reads as not evaluated, not confirmed clean.
Every reference Dependency Map finds is labeled Direct or Heuristic. Direct references are explicit, structural matches — a Flow element, a formula, or a Validation Rule that names the field. Heuristic references are source-text matches that require manual verification, and they are never counted toward Review Priority.
The Coverage & Collection record on every results page shows exactly which categories were evaluated, scope-capped, permission-limited, or not evaluated in V1 for that run, so a category with no findings reads as not evaluated, not confirmed clean.
The paid workbook is designed to be a field-change review artifact, not a raw metadata export.

Methodology & Legend
The free on-screen summary gives a selected-object view of dependency findings before purchase. It includes counts for custom fields evaluated, direct references found, heuristic references, fields with no direct references detected, and High Review Priority fields.
The full XLSX workbook includes the detailed findings, evidence, Field Review prioritization, and Review Tracker.
Dependency findings require validation. Use the workbook to identify review candidates, then confirm each finding against the evidence detail before changing Salesforce configuration.
KeelCadence uses a browser-session-based connection so admins can run a diagnostic without installing a package, creating a Connected App, granting a long-lived OAuth refresh token, or giving KeelCadence persistent Salesforce access. The session is used only to read the metadata and aggregate signals needed for the diagnostic workbook. It does not create, update, or delete Salesforce records.
No. Dependency Map maps detected references within evaluated coverage for the custom fields on one selected object. It does not claim to find every dependency and does not tell you a field is safe to delete.
No. The diagnostic is read-only. It does not create, update, delete, or modify Salesforce configuration or records.
Direct references are explicit, structural matches — a Flow element, formula, or Validation Rule that names the field. Heuristic references are source-text matches that require manual verification, and are never counted toward Review Priority.
Impact Awareness reviews selected-object readiness factors — required fields, record types, validation rules — before imports and bulk changes. Dependency Map answers a narrower question: what references this specific field, before you change, repurpose, or retire it?
Yes. A sample on-screen summary with fictitious data is shown on the Dependency Map landing page before you connect an org or purchase.
Run a read-only Dependency Map review to see detected references across Apex, Flows, Workflow Rules, Validation Rules, and more before you change, repurpose, or retire a field.
