Post by: HelloCognos on 23 Aug 2018 08:41:09 AM
Hi,  :) :)
pls see attached.
I need to see if Cognos has the Visualization to show a traffic light to show changes based on different colors?
Thanks for your time. Greatly appreciate it as always.

Hi,

I put together the below using simple images for the circles, and table cells with the images as background - it took me a couple of minutes, that's all. Just a thought...

I take it that you have a way of dropping the necessary Data Items with the necessary % calculations on top of each light?
Thanks for your time.

I used singletons. As each "light" is really a table cell with a background image, you can drop in whatever you like...
