Title: Setting Different BackGround Colors for different widgets
Post by: Manu0521 on 26 Feb 2014 09:14:17 AM
Hi,

1) If I have three widgets in my Cognos work space and if I change the back color of the widgets in the Layout style it applies for all the widgets present in the report. Is there a way to set a specific back color for each of the widgets.
2) I have a report in a widget and I use a multi value select filter .When I select different values ,data in my report doesnt resize automatically, I could nt see the entire data unless I right click on the widget and say resize to fit content.

I am new to Cognos Work Space and I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Setting the widget background colour from within Cognos Workspace is a global setting for all widgets in the workspace. If you want each to be a different colour, you will need to "do more" in each one and modify the individual widget content to add the background you desire for that widget.

Widgets do not auto-resize in Cognos Workspace. You will need to make sure the widget is initially defined to be large enough to show all desired content.
