The Reporting API returns `lastViewedAt` and `lastViewedByUserId`, which tell us when a report or dashboard was last opened. They don’t tell us how often. A report that one person opened once yesterday looks the same as one the whole team uses every day.

We’d like a `totalViews` field. Even better would be views over a period (e.g. last 30 or 90 days) or the number of distinct viewers.

Why it matters: in a portal with more than 3,800 reports, usage is the best signal for deciding what to keep, merge or archive. “Last viewed” alone can’t tell a report the team relies on from one someone clicked once.
