Title: Cognos Workspace widgets global settings
Post by: Cognos10x on 11 Aug 2015 03:52:55 PM
Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement for setting up the global settings in Cognos workspace. When a user opens up the workspace, the widget should be maximized.

This is because I have a report which is very wide because of this I get two horizontal scroll bars. Once maximized the outer horizontal bar disappears. This is fine by power user but the user with consumer license doesn't have the option.

Thanks in Avance

Hi,

Users with only a Consumer license are not permitted to use Cognos Workspace at all. If this really is the license you mean, you should remove the user's capabilities to Cognos Workspace immediately. If IBM perform a Software License Review (license audit) your company could be liable for huge penalties if you are not adhering to your license terms.

If you user has the old Enhanced Consumer license (now upgraded to Analytics User license) they can maximise widgets as part of their capabilities - if they can't, you can give them privileges to do so.

Cheers!

MF.
