Date Filter or Relative Date Range

[i_am_john]

I have an SSAS Multidimensional model as a source for a Cognos 11 dashboard we a thinking about creating. In this dashboard, we would ideally have a page level filter that limits all the data in the page to month to date. Barring that, we would at least like to have a date slider (or something that's not just a dropdown list of dates) as a filter for the user to interact with.

Do these filter types exist in Cognos? I am coming from a Power BI background and these would be the simplest tasks in that tool so I feel like I am just misunderstanding a key piece of Cognos Dashboards.
