A user complains that the table they're using within a data module has too much...

To address the user’s requirement to see only newer entries based on the 'Order Date' column while keeping historical data available in IBM Cognos Analytics V11.1.x, you should apply a filter to the "Order Date" attribute. Here’s how:

Open Data Module: Access the data module containing the table.

Apply Filter:

Filter Creation: Select the "Order Date" column and create a filter. Specify the criteria to include only newer entries, such as dates within the last year or a specific date range.

Save Filter: Save the filter to ensure it applies whenever the table is used in new reports.

Usage:

Report Design: When designing new reports, the filter will automatically apply, showing only the newer data as specified.

Applying a filter on the "Order Date" attribute allows for dynamic control over the data displayed without modifying the original table or creating duplicates.
