Very new to Cognos and I am trying to determine if this is possible and if it is how to go about it so thanks in advance for any assistance! 

Report - monthly financial report that prompts on Department

Desired outcome - PDF for each department in corresponding folder in Cognos Analytics

I have created a shared folder labeled Financial Reports and sub-folders for each department with the same name as is in the variable in the report.

Can I burst the report on department and send each pdf to the correct folder using the department variable?

Also will note that this is a live connection to the data source and I need log in to access the data so I need to set that parameter somewhere in the job I believe.

Thank you!
