    I'm very excited to get started with 11.2.0. Still struggling with the question:

    How can I add custom tabs and quick launch tiles in 11.2?

    Hope someone can help me!

    @Marloes Corner In the recent PM square 11.2 streams there was mentioning that it is possible to make your own tabs and launch titles.
    The specific details are not yet posted. ( https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0

    They mention the existing sample extensions for 11.2 sow they still work, but in the docu :
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0?topic=views-specjson-description


    I could not find any new overlay groups of menu options that are different from the 11.1 options. A bit strange that the release documentation dos not mention any new things.
    The cloud is not yet on 11.2, that normally my DEV/TEST environment before my sandbox environment is updated at the customer (Waiting for IT to perform updates). Sow i cannot give you any updates from my own experience with some of the f12 functions and reverse engineering to see how the new UI works with custom extensions.

    I would expect that IBM is going to release a Blog post about Customizations and "How to".

    Is there any documentation update to build your own extensions for the customizations?

    Now Im reverse engineering to make my own extensions based on your 2 attachments, but non of the new options i see in your code i can relate to new documentation online ? It would be more helpful to know what the standard options are and when you really vae to build your own. And then what are the best practices. ?

    Hi Denny,

    Just one more question: Do you also have a sample extension to customize the welcome banner/tile?


    Kind regards!

    @Marloes Corner You can customize the welcome banner by using a custom theme. Details on themes can be found here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0?topic=roles-creating-themes

    We also ship some example themes with the product. See attached screenshot for one of the sample themes​
