    Enable queryValue() and queryValues() for Report Queries and Data Items

    As of today, both macro functions queryValue() and queryValues() can only be used with direct source paths (e.g., package or data module). It would be extremely beneficial for report authors if these functions could also reference report queries a...

    Allow Custom Sorting of contents like Folders, Reports and Packages

    Ability to control custom sorting of contents has been removed from v11. This is highly required item by our business community. Arranging the contents by alphabetical order is not sufficient. Not adding this feature back will be a big negative.

    Ability to Schedule a refresh of an Uploaded File

    I would like to have the ability to schedule a refresh of an uploaded file. If you store your excel or text to a file share and grant Cognos access to that share, you should have the ability to schedule a refresh of that data file.
