✨ One Dashboard. Multiple Perspectives.

When people build dashboards, the goal is usually simple:

Present the right information to the right people.

But as dashboards evolve, they often become crowded with charts, tables, KPIs, and filters - all trying to answer different questions for different audiences.

The result?

A dashboard that attempts to do everything... and ends up feeling overwhelming.

💡 Introducing Layout Sets

With the latest enhancement in Cognos Analytics, version 12.1.3 Dashboarding, authors can now create multiple predefined layouts within a single dashboard.

Instead of creating multiple copies of the same dashboard, you can simply define different views by choosing which widgets are visible in each layout.

🎯 Built for Real Business Scenarios

Imagine a sales dashboard.

📊 Executives want to monitor business KPIs.

💰 Finance focuses on revenue and profitability.

📦 Operations tracks inventory and fulfillment.

👥 Regional managers care only about their own performance.

Instead of maintaining several dashboards - or asking users to mentally filter out irrelevant information - you can create dedicated Layout Sets for each audience while keeping everything within a single dashboard.

It's a cleaner experience for users and far easier to maintain for authors.

✨ It's About Focus

Layout Sets aren't just about hiding widgets.

They're about helping users focus on the insights that matter to them.

Because sometimes, less information leads to better decisions.

🎥 A Quick Demo

To show how simple this is, here's a short demonstration of Layout Sets in action.
