  • 1.  adding filter to dashboard canvas

    Posted 08/12/20 10:13 AM
    Hello,

    Just beginning with cognos dashboards. Fairly simple task(supposedly) that I'm not having luck with.

    I have a filter added to "this tab" for a date range. I selected the option to add this filter to the canvas. However, the new object added to the canvas doesn't work... the option to "apply" stays grayed out after I attempt to modify a date, so it won't let me apply the new prompt. Any hints what I might be doing wrong?

    Hi Jeff, thank you for your question.

    Assuming by "new prompt" you mean the new date range you selected in the filter on the canvas, then I believe you may have encountered a defect. The Apply button should become enabled whenever you modify the range.

    I would encourage you to log a ticket with IBM Support, if you have not done so already.

    Just out of curiosity, if you apply a date range in the 'This tab' of the filter tray, then 'Add to canvas', do you still experience the same issue in you modifying the date range?
