Title: Cognos Mobile - no reports visible
Post by: FixItNow on 30 Nov 2018 07:12:13 PM
Just downloaded Cognos Mobile for iPad.
Running Cognos 11.0.11.
I can login and see all the folders. But none of the reports are visible.
Cognos does work in ipad->Safari, (though the drill down reports don't work since they are set to open a new window and Safari is blocking the popups - I'll have to change the drill down behavior.).

What am I missing about the Cognos Mobile app on ipad? If I can't see any reports, what's it for?

I can't see the dashboards either....

I'm so confused....

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

The mobile app is for two specific things:

1. Consuming Active Reports (which do not render in the mobile device's browser)
2. Consuming Cognos Workspace dashboards (which are legacy Cognos 10 technology)

This really means just Active Reports today - everything else you would use the device's browser for.

Cheers!

MF.

So... it's not for anything except active reports if all the stuff on Cognos is Cognos 11.
Ok. That explains why I was so confused.
Thanks!
