Cognos Analytics 12.1 Home page customization

  • 1.  Cognos Analytics 12.1 Home page customization

    Posted Thu October 02, 2025 04:31 AM

    Hi everyone,

    In our Cognos Analytics 12.1 portal, for a specific role, we want to hide Team Content tab and add a new tab pointing to a subfolder of Team Content.

    Inside this subfolder, there are shortcuts to other Team Content folders.

    To add the new tab we used an extension and to hide Team Content tab we used role functions customization.

    We are facing an issue because when user clic on the shortcut, it says that target does not exists or user is not authorized ...

    If we keep Team Content tab visible, the shortcut works perfectly.

    Could you help me to setup my portal ?

    Solution has been found with help of IBM Support Team :

    There is an advanced parameter which allows using custom folder with shortcuts and hiding TeamContent :

    key : shortcut.avoidTargetCheck 

    value : true

    Problem is solved :-)
