  • 1.  11.1 Release 7

    Posted Thu October 01, 2020 06:24 AM

    Hello,

     

    Is anyone using release 7 yet – I can see the new 'Baselines' feature inside Reporting, but want to use the same feature inside a Dashboard and can't find it?

     

    Many thanks,

    Michelle

    Hi Michelle

    Looking at the latest New Features Guide (attached below), it seems that property is only in Reporting.

    Regards

    New baselines seem to be pretty basic when compared to chart. e.g. average/median/moving-average are not available and the options seem to be fixed to static values. At least I couldn't find the usual baseline options.

    Completely agree – would have been so good to have the baselines as calculated fields e.g. averages. I've had to type in static values on all the visuals I've created, going to be a big job to maintain on a monthly basis!

    I think typing static baselines every month defeats the purpose of using Cognos. Unfortunately, I will need to stick to reports and charts until dashboards support visualisations with automated baselines.  Moving average is a must on most trend graphs and you cannot type it manually.
