Title: Watch for new versions (10.1.1)
Post by: RubenvdLinden on 26 Nov 2012 04:19:27 AM
I have a few users with the 'Reader' (recipient) role that can access saved reports in Cognos Connection.
In the Cognos viewer, they can select the 'Watch new versions' menu item, but it doesn't work.
A popup appears that a notification will be send to the user's e-mail address, but no notifications are actually send. The watch item also doesn't appear on the 'My watch items' list.

I found out it probably doesn't work because they don't have the 'Watch Rules' capability. I'm wondering if the Cognos Recipient license allows me to add this capability to Readers?

Hi,

The capability to set and manage personal alerts is part of the Consumer role, and is not available to Recipients.

Regards,

MF.

That's unfortunate.

Thanks for your fast reply.
