Getting report specs from xml file.

[Redrichmond]

 have a unusual request.
Our users have lots of reports and want to be able to reuse old reports for queries that are coming from the customer.,.

Problem is there are hundreds.....

Sometimes they are recreating an already built report...

Is there a way we can catalog (create a report) which shows us what information is stored in the report?

Such as What Package, What Folders the items come from, What Fields and what filters...

I noticed there is a description field in the properties of the report where (if the process was right) we could put key words and filters what the reports do.

Also the report details are stored in the xml file in the content store. Could we create a report that pulls out the details from the xml file.Not sure but if there is hundreds of reports it will take a long time to pull out the details from the xml files


If we could then create a report from the Audit DB picking up this description , this would help...
