Add Slider or Content Filter to Workspace

If you want Cognos® Workspace users to filter content in a workspace based on a data item that is not visible in the report, you must include this data item in its own query and name it _BusinessInsight_ within the IBM Cognos Report Studio report. Therefore, the data item must exist in both the query used for the data container (such as the list, crosstab, or chart) and in this separate query.

For example, a chart shows the revenue for the product lines for each region. You want to filter the chart to show only data for the year 2008. When you author the report, in addition to including Year in the Query1 used for the chart data container, you create a new query named _BusinessInsight_ that includes Year.
