How to find the version of a Bamboo Custom Column

NOTE: In order to find the version of a Bamboo custom column, you need to be able to access one of the Web Front End (WFE) servers in your SharePoint farm.

Using SharePoint 2013? If so, check this video for specific instructions.

Step

Action

On one of the Web front-end servers in the SharePoint Farm, browse to the %systemroot%assembly folder. This is typically in c:WindowsAssembly, but could be in a different location on your WFE server.

Locate the product assembly for the product you are interested in. Right click the assembly name and choose Properties from the menu that appears. The

For each custom column, find the appropriate assembly name in the table below:

Column Level Security	Bamboo.FieldLevelSecurityColumn
Custom Identifier	Bamboo.CustomIdentifierColumn
KPI	Bamboo.KPIColumn
Lookup Selector	Bamboo.LookupPlus
Rating	Bamboo.RatingColumn
