Presenting a quick and dirty (actually, somewhat slow and dirty) cscript that parses through the custom report settings in your WebTrends program and produces a spreadsheet of their configurations.

The Table of Contents is that stuff in the left nav – i.e. what reports are available to the WebTrends end user for that profile. It’s easy enough to use, but you really can only see a little chunk of it at a time. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the Table of Contents all at once in document form? So you could, maybe, re-organize it? Check for completeness? Annotate it? Give it to the end user with annotations as part of orientation?
