Custom Control (Authorized Drill Through)

When creating custom controls like visualizations or data tables it is not possible to perform an out-of-the-box drill-through (authored drill through). Yes, you can use URL parameters to create a psuedo drill-through. However, this is very poor p...

Select Own Custom Designed Mapbox Layers

Mapbox Studio allows you to design custom maps, including using your own data. You should be able to use your own Mapbox basemaps, instead of only the 10 or so basemaps provided by Cognos.

Would it be possible to create drill-through definitions at Data Module level? This functionality is used a lot by our customers at package level, but they regret not being able to use it at Data Module level. Thanks,

Add BoxPlot to available Dashboard/Story Visualization options

The BoxPlot is an available visualization option in report studio but has yet to make its way over to the Dashboard tool. We would like to use this visualization in multiple dashboards.

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.
