IMPORTANT: Page Layout Analysis requires user Setup to be completed first! If you see an error message, visit the Setup page and ensure you are authorized!

The first time the Layout Analysis page is loaded, note that there is no analysis data to display. Lets fix that!

No analysis has been run yet. Please click the "Run" button to start.

Then, be prepared to wait. Depending on the number of objects and layouts in your org, analysis can take hours to complete.

You will need to check back to this page periodically until the analysis is done ...

Once the timestamp is in place and the "analysis is running" message is gone, we are ready to roll!

Use the object selector to identify the object layouts we want to analyze.

A summary of the selected object's layouts is displayed on the left.

Select a layout item to bring up a detailed report ...
