1. A computer-implemented method for generating a dynamic context aware help data for operations supported by at least one reporting system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a client computer, a help request for an operation related to analysis of data in a report file;
analyzing the report file to determine a context data of the report file;
dynamically generating help data for the operation based on a semantic relationship between one or more objects included in the report file and the operation, wherein the generated help data includes a combination of one or more operators included in the operation and the one or more objects included in the report file, the one or more operators suggested within the help data prioritized based on;
a selected focus in the report file,the one or more objects included in the report file compared to operations indexed in an indexed database of reports, andfrequency and recent use of the operation in other report files of similar context; and
sending the generated help data to the client computer.

8. A computer system for generating a dynamic context aware help data for operations supported by at least one reporting system, the computer system comprising:
-
an input device operable to receive, from a client computer, a help request for an operation related to analysis of data in a report file; a processing unit operable to analyze the report file to determine a context data of the report file; a hard disk to store computer readable instructions, data structures and program modules, the data structures including relevant data of implementation for generating dynamic context aware help data based on a semantic relationship between one or more objects included in the report file and the operation, wherein the generated dynamic context aware help data includes a combination of one or more operators included in the operation and the one or more objects included in the report file, the one or more operators suggested within the help data prioritize based on; a selected focus in the report file, the one or more objects included in the report file compared to operations indexed in an indexed database of reports, and frequency and recent use of the operation in other report files of similar context; and an output device operable to render the generated dynamic context aware help data to the client computer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An article of manufacture, comprising:
-
a non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising; sending, to a server computer, a help request for an operation related to analysis of data in a report file; and receiving a help data for the operation, wherein the help data is dynamically generated according to a context data and the operation, the context data being generated by analyzing the report file, the help data is generated based on a semantic relationship between one or more objects included in the report file and the operation wherein the generated help data includes a combination of one or more operators included in the operation and the one or more objects included in the report file, the one or more operators suggested within the help data prioritized based on; a selected focus in the report file, the one or more objects included in the report file compared to operations indexed in an indexed database of reports, and frequency and recent use of the operation in other report files of similar context; and sending the generated help data to the client computer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23)
