Exporting Impact Analysis Results

Download your dependency results in CSV, Excel, or package.xml.

After you run an impact analysis in HappySoup, you don’t have to keep the results locked inside the app. You can export them in three different formats, depending on what you want to do next.

CSV and Excel exports

Choose Copy (CSV) or Copy (Excel) to take your results offline. This is handy when you want to:

  • Share findings with a colleague

  • Review dependencies outside of HappySoup

  • Build a data dictionary for documentation or audits

package.xml export

The Download package.xml option is for when you want to take things further. The generated package.xml contains all the metadata components that reference the field (or other metadata) you just analyzed.

You can use this with the Salesforce Metadata API or tools like the Salesforce CLI to:

  • Retrieve those components into your local project

  • Back them up before making changes

  • Delete unused or problematic components directly

CSV and Excel make it easy to review and share your impact analysis results, while package.xml gives you a direct path to retrieve or clean up metadata in your org.

HappySoup makes sure you can move from understanding dependencies to taking action with just one click.
