Improve documentation on subscription (vs schedule) feature

Existing documentation on the subscription feature describes how to enable subscriptions, but doesn't clearly explain how it works or how it is different from schedules. I learned the following from opening a support ticket. When asked if IBM could update their documentation with these details I was told the only way was to submit an RFE to improve the documentation. Please update existing documentation on the subscription feature with these details

a) You can only schedule the report using subscription through cognos and you can only schedule on daily or monthly basis. This is the Design functionality. If you want to schedule a report on monthly basis, you can do that by going to the properties of the report and then choose schedule.

b) If there are more than one notifications regarding subscriptions then you can only view the report in the latest notification and if you want to see the reports in old notifications then you can only do this by saving the reports and after that you can view them. This is also the Design functionality.

Lastly, I submitted a forum post, then a support ticket, and now an RFE (that I need to get peers to vote on) in order for IBM to consider improving documentation on this topic. IBM, please find a better path to improve documentation. This is a lot of hoops for customers to jump through just to get good documentation that we rely on to use your products. Thank you
