  • 1.  Description for Cognos Analytics Reports in CA Portal

    Posted Thu August 04, 2022 09:59 AM

    Hi Cognos Experts-

     

    Do you know of a way to add descriptions to Cognos Analytics Reports that appear either under the report name alongside the timestamp or appear when hovering over the report name?

    I am not interested in the description option available inside properties.

    Hi Adi,

    This is not an immediate answer, but I believe you might have a look to the following thread:
    Let's see your Cognos home pages

    It could give you some ideas!

    Best regards,

    Hi Adi,

    Do you mean making a verbose description of your report or other object visible on the CA Portal. If so then you get that out of the box with Version 11.2. The screenshot below shows you what I get when looking at one of the sample reports.

    Hi,

    I don't believe that it is possible in 11.1. It was possible in 10.2.2 and the list view in 11.2 is very similar to 10.2.2.

    It is worth upgrading to 11.2 as there are significant performance improvements especially in Dashboards.

    Regards
