It’s great when a software solution is designed to be easy to use, and when users of all types can quickly get started using it. Thoughtful UI design really matters. But sometimes it’s not enough; sometimes you want a solution that’s tailored to your particular organization. This can be because you want to focus on a particular kind of report or give the solution a particular look to fit in with other tools and brand elements already in use at your organization. At times like that you’ll quickly discover whether the solution is designed with user-driven customization in mind, or whether customization is just an afterthought added into sound impressive.

Fortunately, Cognos Analytics is more than a user-friendly one-size-fits-all business intelligence solution. It is also designed to be easy to customize, with multiple elements that can be changed to match your organization colors, images, logo or text. Customization options go beyond the cosmetic; you can add toolbar elements, menus, Javascript actions and other components of the user interface, change default views and embed viewers for particular reports and dashboards. All these options are designed to help make it easier to produce and share the kind of reports that are most valuable to you.
