Excluding fields from a subsystem

These subsystems (for example, Reporting Schema and Reporting Framework), typically use field definitions. In some situations, a field that is applicable to one subsystem may not be applicable to another.

For example, suppose that you want to streamline the number of fields that are used for generating Test (SOXTest) object reports. You are not required, for example, to produce a report on Testing Steps, a field that is part of the Test object. You could exclude the Testing Steps field from the Reporting Schema and the Reporting Framework subsystems. When you regenerate the reporting schema and the framework, the Testing Steps field is ignored and is excluded from the schema and framework.
