When Cognos Analytics queries Snowflake (Database Vendor: https://snowflake.com), the data returned when a TIME datatype is used in the query should be exactly the same as the data stored at rest within a given table on Snowflake, without any conversion based on the difference in hours between UTC and how time is configured on the Operating System where the dispatcher is installed.

This would benefit any IBM Cognos customer who is using Snowflake as a data source and expecting data to not be modified in flight regardless of where the Cognos dispatchers are located in the World's 24 regional time zones.

Drill Popup Modal

Often times users want to drill into data, but don’t want to navigate away from the current report. It would be very useful to allow a drill to allow the target to be opened in the existing report as a popup or modal.

reuse objects and queries

It used to be that I could copy an object, chart, crosstab, etc, from one report to another. If the reports shared the same query1 name, it would use that query1 name. This was great! But you guys changed it. Now, no matter what, when I copy an ob...
