Save to Any Network Location when Scheduling Cognos Report

Currently in Cognos Analytics we only have the option to save a report as XLS, PDF, etc, to any network location when running the report interactively. When scheduling and saving a report to XLS we're limited to what network location we've specifi...

Cognos 12 GUI: Cannot highlight group/user name, report or folder and copy the name in the portal
