[Solved] Cognos Connection Delivery Option Problem

[thecustomizer]

-URGENT-
I would like to remove the "Send the Report by email" option from the Delivery Options which are available when a Report is run. The delivery options that appear are Save, Save As and Email. I don't want the third option to be available to the user.

Please note that the email delivery option can be removed from the "Run Options" and "Advanced Run Options screen by modifying the system.xml file but the delivery option screen that appears while the report is running still continues to have this "Send the Report by email" option available.

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Please respond ASAP.
Thanks in advance!!

I don't think that's possible (although maybe if you change the role of your user ). But i'm not sure... I've got the same issue and haven't found a solution for it. If you know the answer PLEASE share it with us!!

-SOLUTION-

I racked my brains for a couple of days but it finally it paid off. I stumbled upon the solution.  ;D

Adding the user interface element id <RV_TOOLBAR_BUTTONS_Email/> to the <ui_hide>... </ui_hide> tag in the system.xml made the link go away from the delivery options screen.
For those who came in late.....The system.xml file has a tag section named above. Adding the id of the user interface element between the closing and opening tag <ui_hide> and </ui_hide> allows us to hide that particular element.

Hence, no change to any of the source files i.e. the xts or xslt files were required.

I couldn't find this seeming simple solution because of the unlikely id for the Email delivery option "link". It has been defined as a "toolbar button" although it is a link while there is another id for the toolbar button called RV_TOOLBAR_BUTTONS_Send. Adding this id to the ui_hide tag removes the option from the "Run Options" and "Advanced Run Options" screens while to remove it from the delivery options screen <RV_TOOLBAR_BUTTONS_Email/>.
Note that this has not been documented anywhere by the folks at Cognos.  ;)

Hope this helps our fraternity!!!
