Pervasive Encryption reporting looking to report on Dataset Type and Last Use Date

We would like to be able to SELECT/EXCLUDE on the dataset type so that we can filter the report based on the dataset type. There are some dataset types that are not able to be encrypted, and we would like to filter them out of the reports.

We would also want to report on the last use date of the dataset. We could have a DFP segment on the profile, but the dataset has not been re-created lately to invoke pervasive encryption. We definitely want to report on a LAST USED for the dataset, but I could see a potential to perform selects on the date as well.
