    Hi everybody,

    Is there a way to hide the app bar on dashboard while in no edit mode?

    Thanks

    Hi Diego,

    You can try the custom URLs, like the ui_appbar and navbar, and see if they give you what you need. This does however affect the whole portal, not just single dashboards.

    ui_appbar
    Specifies whether to display the global application bar in any perspective in Cognos Analytics. The values are true (default) or false. For example, you can add the parameter &ui_appbar=false at the end of any Cognos Analytics URL to hide the application bar.
    ui_navbar
    Specifies whether to display the vertical navigation bar in any perspective in Cognos Analytics. The values are true (default) or false. For example, you can add the parameter &ui_navbar=false at the end of any Cognos Analytics URL to hide the navigation bar.
    ui_toolbar
    Use this parameter in the Reporting perspective only. The parameter specifies whether to display the toolbar (also referred to as navigation menu) in Reporting when the ui_appbar parameter is set to false. The values are true or false (default).
    To display the toolbar, add the ui_toolbar parameter at the end of a URL in Reporting in the following way: &ui_appbar=false&ui_toolbar=true
    For information about the report options that are part of the toolbar (navigation menu), including the Save and Run options, see The user interface in Reporting.

    Other than that, maybe there's something in Cogbox that can provide what you need... @Paul Mendelson
