Introduction
Purpose of Document
These videos will describe techniques involving both metadata modeling and report authoring to
achieve a dynamically selected latest period base on the user logged in.
Applicability
The following techniques were tested on IBM Cognos BI 10.2.1.
Assumptions
The following techniques assume experience with both metadata modeling in Framework Manager
and report authoring in Report Studio.
Overview
There may be scenarios, where based on user permissions, some users may be privileged to see
more time periods than other users. Using filters in the metadata model to enforce user based
security and various report authoring techniques this two-part video series will illustrate how to
dynamically default to the latest period a user is allowed to see based on their user ID.
