Report visualizations and fields
Dataedo will extract structue of your reports (sections/pages, visualizations/charts, fields). You can describe each report element and link it to business terms in business glossary.
Datasets
Datedo will document Datasets as well. On a sceenshot below, you can see list of datasets and for each dataset Dataset will document both tables and columns.
