Hello,

In Business Insight you can expand a widget to go full screen, you can have a widget to fit the contained report (to avoid scroll bars) but can you enlarge/resize the content itself?
It doesn't seem possible, any workaround?  How size of contained report gets defined (at design time in RS ?)?

Thanks

Hi,

You can also resize widgets individually.There are two ways of doing this:

1.You can simply expand the widgets by clicking on the arrows that appear at the edges of the widgets when you select them.This can be done for for ad hoc reporting and analysis

2.Also you can resize your widgets in the report studio as per your requirements by setting the size and overflow of the dataset in the design mode and can then get the same on your dashboard.

You can refresh live data in all report widgets on a dashboard at any time and get the new size given to your widgets.

Please let me know if you have any further queries regarding the same.

Thanks and regards
Prerna

Hi,
you can expand the widget content to full screen by clicking arrows that appear at the top-right edge of the widgets. BUT with the first release of Cognos 10.1 there is (probably) a bug so expansion feature does not work. So you need to install Cognos 10.1 FP1 fix pack to have this feature. Or you can directly upgrade to 10.1.1
