I'm using CA 11.2 and cannot upgrade to 12 due to workspaces. IBM has not provided any efficient tool to replace them, and most of our dashboards are built by displaying reporting objects in a workspace. Currently, there's no tool to display objects from different reports in a dashboard.
I either have to rebuild all the objects in the workspaces using the dashboard tool, which is not feasible since dashboards cannot handle the complexities that reporting can, or I stay in 11.2. IBM has not provided any solution or replacement for workspaces. There are options for Query Studio or Analysis Studio, but not for workspaces.

Subject: Legacy Studio behavior clarification if we upgrade to version 12....
We are working to upgrade to a version 12 Cognos in the very near future. We have a small but large usage of some of the Legacy Studios (Query Studio, Analysis Studio, and Workspace). We want to understand the behavior of each of the studios once we are upgraded to version 12 and the studios are no longer available.
1. I have been told that Query Studio and Analysis Studio content can still be ran in version 12.... of Cognos, however no edits can be made until the content is converted to a Report. Is this correct?
2. Workspace content, will that be able to be viewed in Cognos 12.... and no edits made to? Out of curiosity, does anyone have any experience of getting Workspace content converted/re-built to one of the other studios (Report, Dashboard)?
Thanks for the help, we are just wanting make sure we communicate to our user base accurate information.
