Title: Add email Id for user in cognos 10.2.1
Post by: Raghuvir on 30 Jan 2015 07:08:26 AM
Hi all,

is it possible to add an email id for a user in the cognos administration ? in version 8.4 there was an option to manually insert the email id in the users profile. in cognos 10.2.1 i dont see the same option. please find the attached screenshot for the same.

i feel in cognos 10.2.1, if the email id is configured in the authentication source, in our case AD, then only it reflects in the user profile.

Request you to advice me on this.

Regards

There's an email field right there in the dialog in the image you posted. Are you saying this isn't there in 10.2.1?

I have 10.2.2 and I can see it...

Hi MFGF,

the option you highlighted is for receiving email alerts for new versions. i tried entering the email id there but its not sending out the emails.
