RELATED IDEAS

Create from existing data Tile - Present content view with folder navigation.

When using the 'Create' tile from the homepage of Cognos Analytics and then selecting to create a report using existing data. Currently the user is presented with a long list of data sets, data modules and packages that they have access to.

The content view provided does also not allow the end user to navigate to where they know their data objects reside.

The view also does not provide the ability to view the description of the objects displayed making it difficult for the user to understand what they are looking at.


It would be more beneficial to users if the content viewer displayed allowed them to navigate the folder hierarchies, including the ability to look at Teams content, My content and favourites and provided the ability to view the description of objects displayed.

It would save users time and make it a much better user experience.
