  • 1.  Parameter passing in Cognos Dashboards

    Is there a way to assign and pass parameters in Cognos Dashboard Visualizations in the latest versions just like report studio? May be we can use "Set Parameter" option in the Actions option, but again I am not use of the usage.

    Hi Krity,

    Which CA version are you using? Or is this Action menu from some extension? That looks promising. 

    As far as I know it is still on the future roadmap of IBM to add the parameters page from CA 12 reports also to data modules and dashboards. 

    Best regards, 

    Philipp

    Hi Philipp,

    Where does the "Actions" entry come from? I'm working with CA 12.0.2 (out of the box) and i don't see it.

    Is it an added extension?
    Regards,
    Syd

    Hi Syd,

    The screenshot is from Krity, I'd also like to know what it is.

    Thanks for the reply, Krity. I see that you are using Cognos 12.0.1.

    I have used both Cognos 12.0.1 and 12.0.2, but I have not seen the "Actions" entry in either of those versions and I can't find any documentation that mentions it. Where did that entry come from? Is it an added custom extension?
