The data dictionary is a good resource for pointing people to documentation for fields. However, there are a lot of fields and there are several use cases that it fails at:
-
Use case 1
User is looking for a field that has a certain kind of information in it, but doesn't know the field name and/or doesn't know where the field is in the schema.For example, the user is looking for the registers of the top frame of the crashing thread. It's a lot of clicking to find that.
-
Use case 2
User is looking for all the fields that have a certain kind of information in them.For example, the user is looking for all the fields related to memory.
I think having some kind of search and maybe tags or something like that would help here.
This needs more thought plus I don't want to work on it until we know the data dictionary is getting a sufficient amount of use.
