How to set up a COGNOS Report View

Not a tip this week, but with all the Year End reports being run, a reminder on how to set up your Cognos Report View. Please see the help document on the Training webpage or, if you prefer, go to MS Streams to view the video (8.38 mins). Cognos Report View saves a lot of time as all your parameter selections are saved, and you can make as many different report views of the same report as you need.
