https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Web-Report-Studio/How-to-identify-the-all-the-data-items-used-in-a-report/m-p/65513#M1315 As we learn more about EBI we improve our processes.<BR /> Sometimes this leaves us with information maps that have data items that are no longer used in the web report they are linked to. <BR /> Deleting an item that is used in a web report is often fatal to the report.<BR /> However, because of things like the ability to rename data items in the report and build custom calculations, determining exactly which data item is used is almost impossible.<BR /> Does anyone have any method to see the dependent data items?
