There is a tab menu at the far left side in Cognos connection specially for adding and rearranging tab sequences..

@Blom  thanks for the reply but I think that the little thing at the left hand side is for rearranging the portlet tabs in cognos connection as shown in the attached picture

Public folders   My Folders 


But I want to rearrange the tabs  in the dashboard (cognos viewer).

Take for eg the attached pic(dashboard.bmp)

In the pic the tabs are displayed as listed below

F  SL  SU  TA

the tabs are coming the alphabetical order.
there is no option to edit the order of the tabs

but i would like to display it as

SU  SL  TA  F

How do i achieve the above given order.


Thanks,
Alam

Why not use:

1.SU  2.SL  3.TA  4.F

As it is a User Requirement they want only the tab name. to be visible.

just wanted to explore if pre fixing the tab name with number/alphabets is  the only way(currently using this method only).

is there no way around it. I thought many people would have had the same issue  as dashboard are more common nowadays.

In the folder that you have your report to be displayed in the dashboard click
on the Order buttonr on the top right.
There you can place the order that you desire
