Title: How to save a version of the report?
Post by: vivek.bevan on 21 Aug 2008 12:42:23 AM
Hi All,

I have created a report which has some filters and the corresponding results comes in the same page.
Is there a way so that we can save the version of the report so that others can view it?

Thanks,
Vivek

Can you please elaborate a little on your requirement as it is not 100% clear to me what you are trying to do.

If your report has prompts, and you want to save specific prompt values for different users, you can use Report Views to do this with saved prompts.

If you want to distribute sections of the report to different users, this can be done through bursting based on data items in your report.

Thanks for the response J.
Actually our report has 5 filters and its corresponding output comes in the same page.
So my report output both have filters selected and its output.
Now i want to save this view so that other can see it....
One way is it to pdf format etc and save it .. but is there a way to save the report in the HTML form..?

???

Why don't you simply create a report view of the report?

(report view button in Cognos connection)

In Cognos connection there is an icon just to the right of the design icon (the triangle) which looks like a blue window (no idea how this is called in English since I am running a dutch version).
This allows you to run the report and assign a new name to it.
However, depending on your user-settings you may or may not be autorized..
