# Usage Field for Salesforce

The Usage field relates to the Org usage extracted, i.e., how often the component is used in the extracted usage time frame -

| **Frequently Used** | The top 20% of all used components of a certain type under the same Organization |
| --- | --- |
| **Normally Used** | The middle 60% of all used components of a certain type |
| **Rarely Used** | The bottom 20% of all used components of a certain type |
| **Unused** | There is no record of the component in the Org usage collection sources. |

> *"Panaya will determine if a*component *has been **Frequently**, **Normally**or **Rarely used**by comparing each*component *relative to the other used*component *within a given Organization. If the*component *is in the **top 20%** of usage compared to other*components *usage in the same Organization, then we will label it ‘**Frequently Used**’. If it is in the**lower 20%** of usage compared to other*components,*we will label it ‘**Rarely Used**’. Those in the middle are labelled ‘**Normally Used**’. If a*component *was never used in the Organization over the course of all our accumulated historical usage data then we will label it as ‘**Unused**’.**"*
