Yes, this is possible. Your administrator needs to enable the "Save to Filesystem" option in Cognos Analytics. Once activated, file paths can be configured for different user groups. For example, a network drive can be set up where individual departments have subfolders to store their files directly.
This feature becomes available as a new option in the scheduling or job settings. If you need the files locally (e.g., on your D-drive), you might need an additional copy job to retrieve the files from the network location. However, using the network drive can achieve the same outcome.
This setup is managed through the Cognos Analytics Administration console.
