Title: How to show comment in cognos report
Post by: tushar gaurav on 19 Dec 2014 07:37:44 AM
How we show comment in data cells of cognos report similar to the comment in the excel cell.
In microsoft excel sheet we can insert comment in cell so that when we hover over the cell we can see our comment.
How we can achieve the same in cognos.

Hi,

There is no inherent way to do this in Cognos 8 BI. You can add comments to a saved report output, but they are attached to the whole output not to any specific cell. If you have Cognos 10 BI, adding comments to cells is one of the features supported in Cognos Workspace, but since you're posting in the Cognos 8 section I assume you have Cognos 8?
