What is Bulk Impact Analysis?
Bulk Impact Analysis lets you run impact checks on multiple metadata items at the same time. Instead of looking up one field or one Apex class at a time, you can select a group of them and see all their dependencies together.
For example:
“Show me where these two fields are used.”
“Check where these three Apex classes are referenced.”
The results are displayed in a simple table so you can quickly scan through them.
How it works
Choose a metadata type (like Custom Field or Apex Class).
Select one or more items to analyze.
Hit Where are they used?
Review the results in the Bulk Analysis Results table.
The table shows:
API Name – clickable links to the impacted item (like a Flow).
Metadata Type – what type of metadata is being referenced.
Uses – whether it’s active.
Id – Salesforce record ID for reference.
Important limitations
Bulk Impact Analysis uses Salesforce’s MetadataComponentDependency API. This API is much more limited than the one used for single Impact Analysis in HappySoup. That means:
Results may not be 100% reliable.
Some dependencies won’t show up.
It’s best used for quick checks, not detailed analysis.
For more reliable results, we recommend using the standard Impact Analysis feature.
What’s next?
We’re working on HappySoup Desktop, which will give you better results for both single and bulk impact analysis. Stay tuned—this will make bulk checks just as powerful as single analysis.
