Title: Adding visualizations for 11.0.13
Post by: dougp on 10 Dec 2019 06:07:05 PM
Cognos 11.0.13

I know I can add more visualizations for reporting (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-download-import-and-test-new-visualizations-cognos-analytics-11), including guage charts.  I'm being asked for a gauge viz for a Cognos dashboard.  I don't see it available in the dashboard editor, even after importing all of the visualizations.  Is there a gauge viz for Cognos 11.0.13 dashboards?

I was faced with the same request, after searching and searching, I came up with that its not available. You can work with the radial chart , that is the closest Ive gotten to

Hi Doug,

For all the 11.0.x releases the dashboard visualizations are limited to what comes in the box with CA. You can add RAVE visualizations for use in reports, but these are not available for dashboards. I have also seen the use of javaScript to add in D3 visualizations, but again just in reports.

From 11.1.4 onwards you can now create/import your own custom visualizations (D3, Highcharts, iCharts etc) so the limitation you're running up against here has been addressed - although you'd need to upgrade to take advantage of it.

Cheers!

MF.
