    Hi,

    We can use a background image to add water mark to a report page. The following documentation provides guidance on how to do this:

    Insert a Background Image in an Object 

    I would like to know if we can display user id of the person who logged in to cognos as water mark in report page.

    Thanks,

    Anu

    Hi,

    Could you not just use the built in $account.defaultName function.

    Stick it into a data item and then wrap it #sq($account.defaultName)#
