A scriptable interface is available in IBM Cognos Analytics 11 for many objects in the report output. Reports can be scripted using two types of
RequireJS AMD modules:
- A module that implements the CustomControl Module Interface
- A module that implements the Page Module Interface
When to use a Custom Control
To provide your own user interface for:
- a prompt-like control that reads and sets parameters
- page navigation buttons (Next, Finish, etc.)
- authored data such as a list or visualization
When to use a Page Module
- To set the initial state of prompt controls
- To set prompt control custom validation functions
- To read current selections from a prompt control (possibly to store) before going to the next page
- Code (using HTML Item) from a previous release that was executed globally on the page will likely move into the "load" method
When to use an HTML Item
- To insert static HTML into the output
- To insert static CSS into the output
For more information, please view the
online documentation.
