How to Find Field visibility on Multiple Page Layouts for Multiple Objects in Single Click?

Find Field Visibility On Multiple Page Layouts

Idea
I am Thankful to one of my BOFC user “Barbara” who has shared this below request:

“Is there a way to add onto a report or excel whether or not a field is currently active on a page layout (and if yes, which page layout)? This is something that’s always been a pain point to keep track of.”

This is a time-consuming and a monotonous job for Salesforce developers and admin to manually open each layout for each object and create a report for it.

Solution
Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) is a native Force.com app designed to help you overcome the above situation. BOFC can easily create a matrix report of field usage for multiple objects for multiple layouts in single click. Refer this image for quick look:
