Can you please tell us in more detail  as to where do you want your message to be displayed on the dashboard as if you want it to display at the top , you can do that by inserting a text item at the top..It would be great if you can be more clear with your requirements. Also please confirm whether you have created dashboards in report studio or by using the Portal page in Cognos Connection.


Thanks and regards
Prerna

Like Prerna said, more information is required to give a proper answer.

If your Dashboard uses a Report Studio report, you can use this inside an HTML item with a condition:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">This is a development environment</marquee>

You may need to put this with a condition to determine the server to check if it is actually a development
environment becuase you don't want to show this message in any other environment.

Hi,

Our dashboards is by portal pages in Cognos Connection. And I want to see this message above the horizontal tabs.

Thank you.
