Team,
The Legend Position Property is not working in Cognos 11 Dashboard Visualization. The version we are using is 11.0.11
Steps I followed for Visualization
1) in Bars - I dragged the dimension columns (Month Name)
2) in Length - I dragged the measure (Sales)
3) in Color - I dragged another dimension columns (Product Name)
When I change the legend position to 'bottom'. It changes, but when I save it and close the dashboard and run the dashboard again - the legend position is set to default 'Right" side. when I go to edit mode the legend position property it will still show bottom. I mean the property still shows bottom but in the layout the legend position shows right.
Thanks!
Kiran

Hi,
I just tried your example using the samples - start with a Bar visualization, add Month to bars, Revenue to Length and Product Line to Color. I set the legend position to 'bottom', then saved the dashboard. When I close and re-open it, the legend appears at the bottom as expected.
I am on 11.0.12 though. Might be worth checking to see if anyone else with 11.0.11 sees what you see?
Cheers!

I can confirm I get the same issue on 11.0.11.

Thanks Ashley!
Looks like it's a NUF (Negative Undocumented Feature) in 11.0.11. The solution is to move to 11.0.12... :)

Thanks for checking. I have to wait until my admin team migrate to 11.0.12 :(
We encountered a similar issue (NOTE: We are also using 11.0.11) in our case it was with TREE MAPs
We were displaying only a a few values - and wanted to HIDE the Legend.
It would be hidden in EDIT mode - but when the Dashboard was saved and re-run - the LEGEND would be visible even though Display Legend property for the Chart
was unselected.
We logged a CASE and Support logged an APAR...
