1. I created a cross tab and then inserted a chart based on cross tab. Now I only want to show the chart.
So went on cross tab and clicked on Cut, which removed it from page but query for it, is still present. That is what I want. But, now let us say I want to bring nag cross tab (instead of manually entering it); how will I do that. I am looking for a hide/unhide featue rather than cut.
2. I am in Cognos 10. I want to see all the parameters. Only place I can see is when I go to edit filters.
Is there a way to see all the parameters without going to filters?
Thanks
1. If you have removed the crosstab from the report already and can't undo, then you'll have to rebuild it, but once you have both you can have one or the other or both conditionally render at run time. You'll need a prompt to let the user decide which option they want and then create variables to use as a render variable for each container. You can also use conditional blocks to hid/show elements, but I personally prefer render variables over conditional blocks.
2. You can navigate to the query and look at the filters there instead of using the edit filter option. Hover over the query explorer, select your query, and you will see your filters in the filters pane on the right. You can also generate the SQL and take a look at the where clause.
"I am looking for a hide/unhide featue rather than cut."
By this if you mean to hide it during development, you can set the box type to none. In visual aids, toggle the view hidden objects.
