I would like to see a field summary for the whole Omniscope report. It should show the report designers the distribution of fields used in different tabs. By "used" I mean participating in queries, active filters and view settings.

So for the attached basic Omniscope file the output would look something like:
----- Filters ---- Queries --- Views
Tab 1: Tier ------ None ----- Market Price, Ticker
Tab 2: Category -- None ----- Category, Issue Date, Isin

This would enable thinning down the report after the initial development stage and tracing the impact of the input data changes (such as database field format change) on the particular report.

Secondly, it would be very useful to see the field dependency tree (for formulas) for the same purpose of finding the fields that are not used anymore.

I can imagine this being implemented as a new data manager block that takes an Omniscope file as an input and produces the above report. Would this be possible one way or another at all?


PS A bit of background: We have a large (30 tabs) report created a while ago. It was changed organically for months and was created using a not very speed efficient principle of "let's get all the data in and see what we can do with it". All the database tables were imported using "SELECT *" statements and unused formulas were rarely deleted. This resulted in about 450 fields in the final report. I bet half of them are not needed, so it's time to optimise it, and currently the fastest way to do that is to recreate the report from scratch, and even that will take a good few days. I'm sure it's not an uncommon scenario and the suggested tool would help immensely.
