Title: Extracting Most viewed / Used business critical report information
Post by: bala on 04 Aug 2023 02:23:48 AM
Hello everyone,
If i have a bunch of reports / dashboard designed in Cognos 10 or earlier.
Is there a way to extract the information about the number of views and most used report / dashboard information from the bunch of reports / dashboards i have. To know the business-critical reports for our Project Planning.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Does your instance have auditing enabled? If so, most of these types of details will be in the audit database, and you can write a quick report to show the most accessed reports.

Cheers!

Yes - it has been available for many years, right back to when the architecture was first introduced in ReportNet in 2002.

Cheers!
