Best Practices:

  • Evaluate the impact before editing by using a test environment to avoid issues in production.
  • Implement change control by recording the date, author, and reason for changes in an internal changelog.
  • Align with stakeholders to inform them about changes that may impact reports, automations, or dashboards.
  • Test linked automations to ensure that flows and rules associated with the field continue working.
  • Monitor post-edit KPIs by tracking usage metrics and completion rates to validate results.
