Hello,

I am new to Cognos. As part of learning the tool, I was trying to edit a report. This report contains a sub-section of Labels and it's respective values. I am trying to edit the content under those labels, but the entire sub-section gets selected and I am unable to edit the individual labels in the sub-section. 

I am posting a screen shot of what I am trying to do. Below, you will find the labels highlighted in Yellow, that I am trying to edit. But the selections is being always made on the entire section of the table and doesn't allow me to select specific label names as such.

I would appreciate any help in pointing me towards right direction.

Thanks.

Hi Chandu,

can you post what kind of element type this is? Looks like nested lists/crosstabs or maybe repeater tables. You can see that on the right pane when you've selected the element:
MY first guess is that this is a layout component reference cause it should be possible to edit single elements of a crosstab or repeater table.

Hello @Robert Dostal,

Thank you for your response. It was actually a simple table layout with labels and corresponding data fields. I was able to resolve this issue by simply unlocking the page contents on top right side corner. 

Hello @Chris Turner,

I was able to fix the issue by doing just what you suggested. I was able to edit the content of the table after unlocking the page. Much appreciate your response.

Hi Chandu - it's hard to tell from a screenshot, but you've possibly got a whole bunch of singletons there. If you unlock the report (click on the icon that's supposed to look like a padlock)
