    Hi Andrew, it wouldn't make sense to add a column with this data since it will duplicating data it already exists somewhere else. You can get this information yourself by queries the Spotfire metadata database. I have shared some queries on the Spotfire Wiki, have a look:

    https://community.tibco.com/wiki/tibco-spotfire-metadata-queries

    You want to use the Library Items query. The ITEM_PATH column will give you the full path of the item. We have used custom queries on the Spotfire metadata database since version 4.5 and we are currently on version 7.11. While unsupported we never found any issues with our queries. The Spotfire metadata schema is relatively simple to understand.
