  • 1.  Cognos Analytics Dashboard Drill-Through

    Posted Tue November 06, 2018 05:16 PM
    It is great that the new dashboard features of Cognos have the ability to configure a drill-through to a Cognos report.   This was a big gap in Watson Analytics.

    Is there any documentation on how to use this feature?

    For example, what is not intuitive is relating the Cognos report filters(?p?) to the fields used in the dashboard.   It seems that you have to have the field on the canvas as opposed to being a dashboard filter.

    I am using v 11.0.11

    Thanks

    Barry,

    Here is a technical note on how drill-through from a dashboard works and how to set it up:

    Hope this helps.
