IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

This and some similar RFE has been open for some time, and is currently in either "future consideration" or "planned for future release". Since there is no foreseeable ETA, hereby adding a use-case to strengthen the requirement.
Use-case:
We have an unbalanced hierarchy, and if we split that in multiple tab filters,
those would just be tab filters 'Hierarchy - Level 1', 'Hierarchy- Level 2', and so on, each showing mixed data.
The data showing in Level 2 (and further downwards) only makes sense when filtered on Level 1 etc.,
otherwise those tab filters are confusing and user-unfriendly.
Simplified example:
In the above example, obviously we'ld only want to show Car and Boat when Vehicle is selected..
The only workarounds are:
Creating list object that includes the whole hierarchy and use that for filtering. This will only filter the current tab, and takes a lot of dashboard screen estate, and will also create a different type of query (in our case with wrong results).
Create one tab filter 'Dimension - Hierarchy' which contains all full paths as text. This is not user friendly, not very readable, and requires a lot of multiselect. Example below:
(Alternatively a tree prompt would be an other solution (but I guess development effort would be much higher.)
This is just an example, this would not only be beneficial for unbalanced hierarchies but also for regular ones.
My customer Caja AQP is implementing Cognos Analytics and they need this options, i'm doing my best for a workaround, but the competition have this funtionality in dashboards.
This idea and CAOP-I-188 are same.
