Manikanth P (ID: 0000004a9a2aa378) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/06/2021 I love this and its pretty cool feature. As I mostly work out of the client's VDI machine I have a difficulty of logging to VDI and search for the respective tables or whether it's delivered or custom one but with this, I used to save a lot time and my work is done faster. But, here I have query - can someone or the developer answer to this. As I we are using to PeopleSoft confidential data is it really safe to use?
