we have pdf and html format reports output in single report, for this we used conditional block and we are rendering these conditional block by using boolean variables . these reports working fine.

but, when i open these reports in cognos workspace tool, it is showing two conditional block objects with default names like "others" and "1".   here "1" block representing HTML report and "other" block representing PDF report. .  instead of these default names i need to specify meaning full name like html and pdf.  but conditional block don't have name property to specify the name in report studio.

how can i change these object names for dashboard reports.
please give me your valuable suggestions.

please look into attachment.

thanks

Hi,

You already asked this question in the Cognos Workspace forum, didn't you?

http://www.cognoise.com/index.php/topic,25404.0.html

I replied, advising you that the variable values used to drive the block are what get displayed when the block is viewed in Cognos Workspace. Boolean variables resolve to 1 or Other. String variables resolve to whatever values you specify, plus Other. You cannot remove the "Other" option as this is a catch-all to be used if none of the expressions in the string variable resolve to True.

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!
