Creating a report to list the request details used in the dashboard via Catalog Manager

There is a way to get the list of reports which are created in the Answers and the columns which these reports use by using Catalog Manager. In the similar way we can list out the dashboards and the reports and prompts it contain the list for the columns or tables which are present in Presentation Catalog in the presentation layer of RPD, but are not used in any of the reports or dashboards in answers.


Open the Catalog Manager and expand the folder , go to the Tools and click on the Create Report Utility.




To get details about reports select Requests then select details of reports you want, then give the path to save the file with xls extension, then click OK.






To get details of dashboards select the dash boards in Tools>Create Report in catalog manager and select the details for the dashboards.
