Return the Assigned Term when searching the Glossary for the Cognos Report element

System: Cognos Framework Manager, Cognos Report Viewers
Actor: BI Model developer or Report user

The developers of our customer use a variety of abbreviations in Cognos Report Headers for measures and attributes, especially when there are a lot of columns in the reports. Often, for the same measure they have to use different abbreviated names in different reports. Based on the integration between Cognos and Infosphere Business Glossary, the report users should understand the business meaning of the BI Report elements and the developers to validate it according to the defined Business Term.

Currently, when clicking on a Report Header to search the Glossary, only the Terms matching the Report label string are returned. The needed behaviour when searching the Glossary from within Cognos Report or Framework Manager is to get the Assigned Term to the underlying BI Report element.
