Columns
This section provides details about the columns in the entities including the total number of columns and number of calculated columns.
- Total Columns: Total number of columns available in the entities.
- Calculated Columns: Columns in which functions or operations such as min, max, sum, avg, etc. are implemented for calculation.
Analysis
This topic provides a detailed examination of source files, datasets, reports, and parameters.
Files
This section provides a comprehensive report of the source file including statistical information about datasets, data sources, columns, and queries.

- Queries: Displays the number of queries.
Datasets
This section provides details about the datasets including dataset types, columns, filters, and more.
- Datasets Name: Displays the dataset name.
- Dataset Type: Displays dataset types such as shared, embedded, and report.
- Shared: Refers to a dataset that is published or defined on a report server. This dataset is used across multiple reports on the same server.
- Embedded: Refers to a dataset defined within a specific report. This dataset is used only in that specific report.
- Report: The report dataset does not contain data; instead, it defines a reference point to the shared dataset that needs to be used in the report.
- Columns: Displays the number of associated columns.
- Filters: Displays the number of filters in each dataset.
- Parameters: Displays the number of parameters in each dataset.
- Calculated Columns: Displays the number of calculated columns.

- Visualization Objects: Displays the number of visualization objects in each file.
- Parameters: Displays the number of parameters in each file.
- Filters: Displays the number of filters in each file.
Parameters
This section provides details about parameters including its types, datasets, and associated files.
- Parameter Name: Displays the name of the parameter.
- Type: Displays the parameter types such as query or report.
- Report Parameters: Refers to parameters present in reports that are used to filter the data.
- Query Parameters: Refers to a defined set of parameters to retrieve or fetch data from the database.
- Dataset: Displays the dataset associated with each parameter.
- File: Displays the file path where the parameter is present.
