Displaying reports as icons and providing different run options

[ravikrsingh]

Hi Cognos Gurus,
I am looking to arrange the reports as icons instead of details(see the attachment).
Also along with this user wants to have the options to run the report as HTML, Excel and PDF adjacent to report icon.
Also there shud me option to view the previous run report output.
Can anyone please suggest something.

Thanks,
Ravi

It would not be impossible I suppose, but very difficult to get Cognos Connection to look like that or behave as described. You might be able to shoehorn it into Workspace. But if you want something that customized, I'd suggest a web page that links back to Cognos for the content. You are going to need a fair bit of knowledge to implement this, including a working knowledge of HTML and the options you have to link back to the Cognos reports (probably using action URLs).
