Hi Experts,
I would like to know if it is possible to schedule dashboards created through data module.
The idea here is to to email a dashboard once the data is refreshed every night, hoping that once the data is refreshed everything data module developed off of a data server automatically refreshes.
Thanks

Hi,
No, unfortunately. You can't schedule a dashboard. You'd need to build this as a report using the Authoring tool - then you can schedule it.
Cheers!

What do you mean by "Report using the Authoring tool"?
Is it going to be a normal Report or Active report? What is Authoring tool?
Thanks.

Hi,
Either would work - normal reports and active reports can both be scheduled. The Authoring tool is the piece you use to author reports (New -> Report).

Thanks. But Active Report has limitations compared to Dashboard regarding interactivity and dynamic changing.
Emailing the dashboard as a static presentation format like PDF has some interactivity limitations as well... :P
Dashboards are intended to run inside of Cognos. If you want interactivity, send them a URL. You'll find it listed as Share under the More menu for the dashboard (in the Portal, not the Dashboard tool).
