I have a similar request, is there a way to default the Add Shortcut location to use My Content vs Team Content? Not sure if this would be an extension or would require changing source code.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.

Hi Michael,
we have two groups of users
- pure consumers
- report writers
Consumers open Cognos with a customized homepage containing the following tabs:
- my content
- "reports" (a custom folder)
- recent
For this I use the tabExtension.zip and like in your spec.json I can adjust the order myself.
This was necessary, because otherwise the users first landed in "My content" instead of "Reports"
and there it says "Start by adding data", which leads to further questions.
The "Team content" is hidden by the role. That's why I had to hide the "Content" as well, because no shortcuts will work here in 11.2.4.
The report writers have the same homepage, but can additionally navigate to the "Team content" and the "Content" to create objects.
But the order of the tabs is different than on the homepage.

Hi, I would also like to know if this is possible and how.
But maybe some alternative ideas:
Somehow add to the link to Cognos the perspective (http://<server>:<port>/bi/?perspective=content
) to directly jump to the team content
- Guide the user to set "Home" to Team content (in personal settings - "Set home as")
- Here a sample to add a tile for Team Content to quick link section, so a user just need "one click" to get the Team Content
File spec.json
{ "name": "CUST_QLaddTeamInhalt", "schemaVersion": "1.0", "extensions": [ { "perspective": "home", "features":[{ "id": "com.ibm.bi.caHome.qlTeaminhalt", "collectionItems": [{ "containerId": "com.ibm.bi.caHome.quickLaunch", "id": "com.ibm.bi.caHome.quickLaunch.teamInhalt", "name": "CUST Teaminhalt", "weight": 600, "actionController": "v1/ext/CUST_QLaddTeamInhalt/js/QLteaminhaltActionController.js", "properties": { "icon": "common-collaborate-group", "title": "Teaminhalt", "description": "Anzeige Teaminhalt" } }] }] } ]}
File js/QLteaminhaltActionController.js
define([], () => { class CustomQuickLaunchActionController { doAction() { window.open('/bi/?perspective=content&tab=teamContent', '_self'); } } return CustomQuickLaunchActionController;});

Hi Chris,
have you found a solution to your problem?
My users end up in their mostly empty "My content" folder when they first call it,
where they are then prompted to "Start by adding data" even though they are only consuming reports.

Does anyone know which extension, setting, theme I could use or modify to make the default tab in the 11.2 interface Team Content vs My Content, or change the order entirely? I see a blog post about 11.2.4 also allowing a setting to default to list view, so wonder if this may also be a mystery setting hidden somewhere?
