Provide special object Current Date as part of RPD in OBI Recruiting

Use Case and Business Need
In BO, we had a special objects folder which had "Current Date" object which used to populate localtimestamp.
In OBI Recruiting, we don't have any such object. But what we have is CURRENT_DATE function which only gives BI Server timestamp irrespective of the timezone where user is located.
When such condition is required as a filter we are forced to use EVALUATE function but it degrades the performance and using CURRENT_DATE function gives incorrect results.
Please provide this object as part of RPD.

Are you asking a user Session variable Current Date that will pick up the user's local time?

Hi Ling,
In BO we have a dedicated object called as Current Date which is part of query, not sure technically how it can be implemented within OBI.
If session variable helps that would be great!
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran
