Readd the ability to hide an email attachment which is available in Cognos Business Analytics V 10.2.2

In Cognos Business Analytics Version 10.2.2 has the ability to hide the Attach the report checkbox in the set the emails options GUI.  In C11 this ability has been removed.  Please see the following IBM link which shows how to hide the “Attach the report” option (email attachment.)  

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_10.2.2/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cra.10.2.2.doc/t_disablereportemailattachments.html#DisableReportEmailAttachments

In the system.xml file you add the following code to hide

the "Attach the report" option.

    I have just tried the options to hide an attachment and the other options. They work great. We are back in business. Thanks for adding this option back.

    Can this be done as a patch for 11.1.7 enhancement? It's very important for us. We're upgrading to 11.1.7 which is a LTS release.

    Also instead of going to each roles and choose to Hide, can it be similar to v 10 to choose what roles to Show. Because there are so many roles to change to hide, and only Administrator and one role are allowed to see the option in our environment.

    Hi Joe, the capabilities were actually blocked by some work we had to do in other areas and all of the changes will ship together in a future release allowing us to add these capabilities there as well. The changes are very significant and not something that we can back port to 11.1.13. So users who would like to take advantage of them would have to upgrade to the latest 11.1.x

    Will this change be available as a patch to our Cognos version 11.0.13 or will we need to upgrade to a newer release version 11.1.XX to get the change.

    Hi everyone, we are very aware of this requirement along with many other for emails going out from Cognos. Please see the attached image to see some of the email capabilities we are already working on in the lab. These will be available in the near future this year.

    This prevents the sending of PHI both on the part of IBM and clients.

    The ability to control attachments vs. links (forcing authentication) being sent in email is essential to protect PHI content consumption

    This seems to pertain to Cognos Analytics, not Cognos Controller, I have changed offering to reflect this. Thanks.
