    In Cognos Analytics 12: is it possible to adjust row size to Compact or Short for all users?

    Greetings!

    You can do it with a custom extension.

    Invoke a JavaScript similar to:

    document.querySelector('button[data-id="listView"]').click();
    document.querySelector('button[data-id="settings"]').click();
    document.querySelector('input[name="rowSize"][value="short"]').click();
    document.querySelector('button[data-id="settings"]').click();

    @Tim Aston might suggest a more robust approach

    You can also modify the JavaScript file on the server:

    webcontent\bi\js\ca-content\content\content.js

    But then you have to repeat this modification  after every Cognos upgrade

    Hi,

    I cannot make changes at the server level. I need the extension file that sets the default Row Size option to Compact in Cognos 12.0.4.

    Thanks,

    kumari

    I assume you should implement an extension
