Ability to add scheduled reports to DNG Widgets

The report builder is an easy way to load a bunch of data within a short time. That is the reason why some projects are using this tool to create own reports to calculate KPI's. Depending on the data and the programming skill of the user some of the reports can take some time. Some of these KPI's are used in widgets in DNG. For example. There was one KPI running 11 minutes to generate the result and it was uses at the DNG project dashboard in DNG and was executed each time a user opened this dashboard or refreshed the screen. 
What they really need is the ability request the result of the KPI which was calculated once in the morning. I recognized that it is possible to schedule a report but unfortunately I could not select this report in the widget.

expected behavior: 
It should be possible to select a scheduled report builder report in a DNG widget and if so the most recent result should be displayed in case it is periodically executed.

The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and requested additional information. To date, no additional information received and based on our understanding, idea does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Thank you for submitting IBM Engineering Reporting idea. IBM Engineering team review board evaluated this request and determined that such functionality already exists since JRS 7.0.3. Could you review feature 'Cache Result timeout field added to improve the performance of the report' under https://jazz.net/pub/new-noteworthy/jrs/7.0.3/7.0.3/index.html and let us know if this satisfy your request.
