Counting records that use the target value in specified fields

Before you modify data, you can use the data wizard to count records that use the target value. For example, if you plan to change a site name from Canada to Canadian HQ, the data wizard can tell you:

  • All forms that reference the Site Name field
  • How many records on each form contain the target value ("Canada" in the example)

You can use this information for planning the change.

  2. Click Go. You are prompted to confirm whether to proceed.
    When you proceed, the Data Wizard Status window appears, listing forms to be counted. As the count proceeds, the status changes from Pending to Complete.
