Multiple Report Outputs

[twlarsen]

How is everyone handling monthly scheduled reports and having users view them.  We are currently implementing Cognos 8 and I'm looking for ideas.  From what I've seen, we can set the report to have multiple output versions.  If I have a monthly report, and want the last year I'm assuming I would use 12 occurences here.  However, when I go to the view output versions for the report, I get the drop down to select which version I want.

So here is my problem.  If I schedule a report to run on the 5th of every month, but runs previous month data, my version would actually say July 5th 2008 hh:mm:ss but would contain June data.  Mays data woud be run on June 5th, etc.

Is there a different solution?  Could we actually create a folder for a report, and then store report views that are labeled "Todds Report - June", "Todds Report - May", etc?

Thanks for any thoughts!
