Creating new dashboards from old reports

It would be great if we could either pin a report and be able to select it into a new dashboard. Or, have the ability to copy a report, or report object, and be able to paste into a new dashboard.

Currently in Cognos Analytics, when I change the Start page view in Reporting, I need to save the report, exist, and re-open to see the new page view. I understand it's called 'start page view', however it'd be great if this updated on the fly rat...

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.
