  • 1.  Alter / modify the default "blank" template

    Posted 02/12/20 11:16 AM
    Dear all,

    - Cognos 11.1.3 -
    Everything is more or less in the subject: in one environment, we would like to be able to modify the default "blank" template of Cognos.
    Is it possible?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    if you create a template and name it as 'Blank' and place it under the templates folder (Go to the portal, under team content->templates), it will replace the default one.

    Hi Fabrice,

    Thanks for your answer, and sorry for the late feedback, but I was not in a position to follow on this.
    I confirm that it is solved using your explanation.
    Thanks!

    Hey Fabrice, 

    I am working on similar task while the difference is posting/creating a default "custom" report with preferred formatting. So the idea is, whenever someone clicks new report, they should be able to see this "custom" formatted report to start the report with instead of beginning from the blank report. I dint see any template folder in the team content, I tried checking view hidden items too. I am wondering, if this folder comes with installation task or do I need to install/create template folder manually to have this "custom" report saved to, so I can work towards making the "Custom report" as one of the default reports. Please advise if I am missing something.
