Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for social distancing, and remote working conditions, we are transitioning the delivery of Cognos consumer and report developer training to detailed Zoom recordings, which will be available soon. In the meantime, please take advantage of the updated Cognos user documentation on TUportal, which was created to assist Cognos users with the current version of the software.  See the steps below to access this documentation:
