Global parameters available to Cloud and multitenant users

IBM Cognos Analytics administrators can now set global parameters without having to customize them for roles. A new Applied to all roles checkbox is available to administrators when they set any global parameter. When this checkbox is selected, the global parameter is available to all system and tenant roles.

Note: If you want to customize a global parameter for a specific role, see Setting default parameters for roles.

For example, if the administrator sets the _as_of_date global parameter, users can then change the reference date that they use for relative date analysis.

For more information, see Setting global parameters.
