Hide Report

[karthikshashi]

Hi, here I have an issue

When we do a search on Cognos portal it will bring the child reports if it match ( even though the child reports containing folder entry has been hidden ) How to avoid it?

I want to restrict the users to view such reports (from hidden folder) when they search in portal.

The only two options that come to mind are to deny read access to the users or second set the hidden property on each individual report. You can use a tool like MetaManager to set the hidden flag on all of the reports at once.
