Title: Hyperlink button on dashboard
Post by: Rosanero4Ever on 10 Aug 2017 07:34:44 AM
Hi all,

because is not possibile, at the moment, perform drill through from dashboard to detailed reports, I'd like to add a simple button able to run a detailed report reguarding dashboard visualizations.
How can i perform this in CA 11.0.6??
I'm regretting Cognos Workspace Advances...
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can include a web page in your dashboard, and this page can be an existing Cognos Analytics report (along with all the capabilities a report gives you). The one drawback is that you need to have your Cognos Analytics instance configured to use secure sockets (https) as https pages are the only ones you can include in a dashboard.

Cheers!

MF.

I just tried this solution: I created a report with a single hyperlink button but i haven't setup https connection for my CA environment...
I'll follow these guidelines

even if...I have to configure SSL in order to add a simple stupid link in my dashboard!!!!!!
Sometimes I hate IBM... >:( >:(
