Modeling

Learn about new features and changes to the IBM® Cognos® Analytics modeling components, primarily data modules.

Multilingual metadata
You can now translate the metadata of a data module. Labels, descriptions, and screen tips can be translated. The users can view the metadata, such as table and column names, in their language. At this moment, the localized data module can be used in Reporting only.
Custom sorting
You can specify custom sorting for columns in a data module and use it in dashboards, reports, explorations, and stories that are based on this module.
Automatic sorting in month, weekday, and season columns
In newly loaded database schemas and uploaded files, the members in the month, weekday, or season columns are automatically sorted in chronological order, no matter in which order they are listed originally.
Adding or removing tables from a view
You can add or remove tables from an existing view custom table.
