Version: Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 to 11.2.1
Dashboard authors may want to add more visualizations or shapes onto their canvas which can be embedded into this tabbed widget, which will allow consumers to toggle between the different visualizations.
Use cases range from presenting related data on separate charts, to presenting tabular data or simply alternative visualization choices.
Individual tabs within the widget can be styled with the same controls as the dashboard master tabs. For more information, see Customizing tabs. With this extension, Font family is included in the styling options.
