Article Number:040737

Using the Last updated date of record column on the App management screen, you can easily find apps whose records have not been added/edited for a long time, which makes it easier for you to sort out your apps.

The following are the details of the Last updated date of record column and how you can use this column to identify unnecessary apps.

For details on how to open the App management screen, refer to Opening the "App management" screen.

Overview of the "Last updated date of record" column

The Last updated date of record column shows the date on which a record was last added/edited.
If a record has never been added/edited after an app is created, the date on which the app was created is shown in the column.

Si se creó una aplicación antes de la actualización de enero de 2021 y no se agregó ni editó ningún registro en la aplicación desde entonces, se muestra (Sin datos) para la aplicación.

Using the "Last updated date of record" column to sort out your apps

This section describes how to use the Last updated date of record column to find the apps that are likely to be unused and decide whether to delete them or not.

Click the Last updated date of record column to sort the apps in ascending order (oldest to newest).
Apps are displayed in ascending order of the last updated date of record from oldest to newest, with the apps with the value (No data) shown first.

Check the apps whose value in the Last updated date of record column is old or displayed as (No data), and identify apps that are likely to be unused.

Por ejemplo, también puede confirmar las siguientes columnas para limitar las aplicaciones.

  • Nombre de la app es "Nueva app"
  • Status is "Not activated"
  • El número de registros es '0'

If the app name is "New App", the default name when creating the app has not been changed.
If the app status is "Not activated", the app is still under creation and not yet activated.
If no records have been added into these apps for a long time, they may have been created as a trial purpose and no longer in use.

Sin embargo, incluso si no se han agregado ni editado registros en una aplicación durante mucho tiempo, la aplicación se puede usar para el propósito principal de ver o hacer referencia a datos. (Ejemplos: Maestro de presupuesto, Maestro de tienda, Preguntas frecuentes internas)
Estas aplicaciones deben conservarse y no eliminarse.

Las siguientes son ideas sobre cómo puede comprobar si está bien eliminar las aplicaciones que probablemente no se utilicen.

Ideas sobre cómo decidir si eliminar las aplicaciones:

  • Confirm the Created by and/or Settings: Updated by columns on the App management screen and contact the user displayed in them
  • Add "To be deleted" to the app name, and see if there is any response from app users for a while
    Reference: Changing an app name
  • Limit access to the app and wait for a while to see if there is any response from app users
    Reference: Configuring permissions for apps
  • Ask the "Created by" user to check on the App management screen whether it is all right to delete the app
    Reference: Displaying only apps that you created

You can also download a list of apps in CSV format, which contains the information of the Last updated date of record column.
