PAW Book Search - Advanced option to match on widget metadata

When making updates in TM1 objects there are often times an impact on PAW Books (and PAfE books).

The PAW Search in Reports and Analysis should have an Advances Search capability to allow users to find widgets based on the search criteria. Possibly a list of options for assets/metadata type e.g. Book, Cube, View, Dimension, Hierarchy, Member etc.

If the user searches for something generic like Sales, I may need to find any books where I have a widget linked to the Sales cube.

If the user searches for the name of a specific view as they may be looking to update the view and need to assess the impact of the change, the search should list books, and tabs, where the view is used as the basis for the cube view.

If the user searches for something like 2026 they may want to restrict the search to members and find a widget where 2026 is used/cached in a selector, view etc.

    Advanced Book Search that includes widget metadata (cubes, views, dimensions, etc.) would be extremely helpful in large environments. Finding the right book or widget quickly is becoming more and more important as the number of PAW books grows. Great idea!
