Title: Disable Welcome Banner, ALerts, Quick Launch, Samples and GetStarted in 11.2.4
Post by: Cognos91 on 15 Apr 2023 11:52:48 AM
All,
I am looking to disable the welcome page, alerts, quick launch and samples, etc from the Cognos portal.
Would you know which specific json file will need to be updated for these changes?

Thanks,

Much of this will depend upon which version of Cognos Analytics you are using.

"disable the welcome page" doesn't make sense.  Do you mean replace the welcome page?  That would be a customization you would write as an extension or theme.

Disabling alerts is done by changing a system property.

disable samples?  You probably mean deleting, hiding, or securing the folder under Team Content.
