Add Master Detail Relationship for Chart Visualizations in Cognos 11.1

Master detail relationships option found under DATA for Cognos analytics Chart visualisation is not available in Cognos 11.1 (especially 11.1 R5 version). The feature was available in Cognos 10. The feature is needed in Cognos 11.1, such that we can generate visualisations based on a Master query which will filter the detail visualisations and produce different outputs for each data member of the Master Query.

This is a very needed and critical component needed for Cognos Reporting and we cannot create reports without important features that are missing in the latest version.

Needed by Date Apr 10, 2020

    Hi everyone,

    I do not know if this request is still in the running 4 years later.

    Hopefully, we can get this request pushed through.

    With most of our customers we rely heavily on the Report Studio "bursting" feature, which relies upon those parent-child relationships. IBM Support told me to vote for this feature if we want this.

    Without this feature all the benefits of "bursting" are lost!

    Please add this feature to the critical list for the next version of Cognos.

    Or provide a new optional content store import file fixing this.

    Thanks,

    Paul de Prado
    Director of Analytics and Data Science

    Hello Rachel,

    I guess there lots of other important ideas and features. However we do have customer demanding in particular on this for their reports. Are you able to give any estimation when this and/or other former functionalities (see https://ibm-data-and-ai.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/CA-I-2976) are availabe for 11.1 viz?

    Thank you and best regards

    We did not purposely remove master-detail support. The new 11.1 visualization engine doesn't have all the functionalities traditional charting engine has currently. These features all need to be re-implemented and prioritized. We have been implementing many important features into the 11.1 visualization engine such as drill through, drill up/down, etc.
    Master-detail is on our list to implement for the second half of this year.

    Master detail relationships has been removed from the 11.1 visualisation... this is deemed as a step backwards by users as such a feature is very popular and useful for report designer, please consider re-adding it to future releases asap.
