I am wondering if it is possible to do the following:
User logs into cognos
User picks a report to run
report is run for him only without a prompt by using session variable or something.
Basically capturing their login information and using that as the default variable when they run reports so they don;t continually have to select their name from a drop down list
There is a session parameter which you may be able to use - $account.defaultName - you will need to have a macro somewhere to reference it.

Here is what I did
I created a calculated field in framewrok manager for the query subject I needed it in
Then I created a filter on the report that matched the value returned in that field with one in the report that contained the same data
works like a charm
thanks
