    Enable queryValue() and queryValues() for Report Queries and Data Items

    As of today, both macro functions queryValue() and queryValues() can only be used with direct source paths (e.g., package or data module). It would be extremely beneficial for report authors if these functions could also reference report queries a...

    Select a delivery method while running a report with full interactivity

    When running an ad hoc report from the Cognos portal, there is a noticeable difference between full interactivity mode and classic mode. The option to select a delivery method is only available in classic mode, meaning users cannot send the report...

    Mobile App - View Most Recent

    Currently in the web version of cognos, you can set the properties of a report to view the most recent version, instead of running it fresh. In the new cognos mobile app, this option does not work, which is a problem (especially for long running a...

    Macro functional parity of prompt/paramvalue and promptmany

    KPI visualization in reporting

    The KPI widget in dashboarding is a much used visualization. It gives a lot of insight, without using much realestate. However it isn't available in reporting. Having the visualization available in reporting would enhance the reporting experience ...

    roleValue should work with measures for the intrinsic properties

    When using a measure set, it is very difficult to get the caption of the current measure in a variable. If you wanted a custom format for specific measures in the set, you have to find a clever workaround instead of just making a data item with ro...

    Add a tool to edit Report XML directly

    When copying objects across reports all associated objects are copied along with it, even if the target report has the same items. This greatly bloats reports, especially when there are many conditional styles and query items. I would expect the b...
