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.

Cognos Analytics 11.2 adds a great deal of new customization options. You can read more about them in this blog: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/businessanalytics/blogs/tim-aston1/2021/04/06/customizing-the-cognos-analytics-112-home-page
"favorites" would be a great addition.
The "tiles" are the same items that are in the Recent list on the left.
The links get stale as IBM deletes and reorganizes their content from external sites such as YouTube.
I'm surprised this has so many votes.
Our clients would like to see a "favorites" section on the home screen. The recent section is useful but a static display of favorites would be even more useful.
They fixed the problem in the 11.1.2 release.
You need a custom view with the spec json excluding the "com.ibm.bi.bahome_common.quickReferences" item.
{
"name":"SampleConsumers",
"schemaVersion": "1.0",
"comment": "Extensions for Consumers role in Sample.",
"extensions": [
{
"perspective": "home",
"comment": "Removes content that is not useful or usable for the role.",
"features": [{
"id": "wfg.homePerspective.excludeItems",
"excludeItems":["com.ibm.bi.bahome_common.quickReferences", "com.ibm.bi.glass.common"],
"comment": "Consumers will not understand the quick references since they are focused on content authors."
}]
}]
}
I find it odd that this is considered an RFE rather than a defect.
If you follow the instructions to customize views, it shows you the "id" of the quick references section. If you add an exclusion for it in a spec.json file for an extension, it will remove the leaf links from the section, but not the section itself.
See attached spec.json and result on the UI (cognos.quick.reference.png).
The Quick Reference has been a huge problem for us as our users do not have access to YouTube and click on that link to try to get to the training videos we host internally. This needs to be customizable.
