On CA 11.1.7 FP3. I would like to know if there are options to change the following:

1. On selecting "Send Report by Email", the default is "No Recipients" - Is it possible to automatically set the default to be the user attempting to run the report. Otherwise, it requires an additional step of accessing the "Details" which now automatically defaults the user.
   
   
2. Can you set the default email option to be "Attach File" rather than "Include a Link

Any help oh this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi Adam,

that's a good question. I have no idea but have the same requirements in my environments... Maybe one of the IBM experts can chime in?

What about #2 ? Is there a setting to default to send attachment instead of sending link ?​​

Hi,

About question #2, you can select a role from Account, for instance Authors, then Customization / Features.
In the search window, search for "link" (without quotes) and clear "Include link" (for email only) as shown below:
​
Loggout, then log (with any user belonging to Authors) , try to send an report by email, you should have:
Attach report output is the default.

Hi,

sorry for pulling up that old topic.

We recently upgraded to 12.0.4. Does anybody know if the change @Patrick Neveu described works under Cognos 12 as well?

It does change the behavior when using the share button. But it doesn't change the default for the report "Run as" Menu. The default always stays on "Include a Link" rather than "Attach report output"
