Title: Cognos Mobile BI shows data item names instead of labels, works ok on PC
Post by: Ogram on 07 Jan 2014 05:58:34 AM
Well the topic sums up the problem quite nicely. I have a rather simple active report that works, apart from the obvious, without problems. For some reason the data item labels refuse to show up when I open them on the ipad using the official app, instead displaying the data item name. The same report works as intended when opened on PC displaying the labels as it should.

Obvious workaround was to use custom text labels but this is tad cumbersome because the same data items appear multiple times on the report(s) and if I need to make a change this results in a lot of pointless work.

Have any of you ran into the same problem and did you find a way to fix it? I take it this might be due to bug in the mobile application but your guess is as good as mine.

Hmmm. Not seen this before. Is it something you can reproduce using one of the sample data sets?

Are you on the latest version of the iPad app? I think there have been a couple of new updates recently...

Cheers!

Hey,

I will try to replicate this behaviour on a blank, new report and see if it happens again when I get back to office. I will let you know how it goes.
