Workspace Advanced 10.2.1 and Dashboard Creation Tutorial

[gosoccer]

Friends,
Good evening, :D

I have to learn quickly how to build a Dashboard in Workspace Advanced. If anyone knows
of a good UTUBE to use to quickly understand the steps and put it toward my project, I would
greatly appreciate it.

I know how to build List, Crosstabs, Charts in Report Author and very familiar with Framework Manager.

Anything that explains the steps to take to build a Dashboard will be a great help.

thx so much for your time in advance. :) :)

Hi,

Do you really want to build a dashboard in Cognos Workspace Advanced or do you mean Cognos Workspace?

If the latter, all you need to do is to drag in the parts of existing reports you require and assemble them wherever you like on the page. It's a drag-and-drop paradigm.

Cheers!

That's interesting. Thank you so much! This is a lot easier since I already have the Report. Go Cognos!!!!! and Go COGNOISE

OK, It all looks good but does anybody know how to change the Legend on the Top Right corner in Workspace so it only shows one of the fields and not all values in the legend? Thx so much.  8) 8)

Hi,

Sorry - I'm not following what you're asking here. When you create a new workspace, you start with a blank canvas, and you only get stuff appearing if you add it yourself. What do you mean by the "Legend on the Top Right corner"? Is it something you added?

Sorry,
After  I dragged a Report that included a List to Workspace, I change the display type to a Chart. It created a chart that looks great with the XAXIS and YAXIS, but the legend on the top right corner shows all the values on the List rather than only specific ones.

I guess the Legend is created from all the Data Items that are in involved with the Chart.

I wasn't sure how to change the Legend of the Chart to show only Certain Data Items.

Thx so much!!!

Ah - that makes sense :) A chart legend.

The widget should have a "Do more" button at the top - it looks like a cog. When you press this, the content of the widget opens up in Cognos Workspace Advanced. From here you can select the chart, go into properties, and uncheck the "Show legend" option. Click "Done" in the top right corner, and the changes will save back to the widget in your workspace.

Cheers!

Hi there. Thank you. That seems to work.

Now, how do I use Workspace or Workspace Advance for Ad-Hoc Reporting instead of Query Studio. IBM is getting rid of the Query Studio.

Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you so much for your time.

1. Open Cognos Workspace Advanced.
2. Select "New report"
3. Choose the report template you desire
4. Drag in the desired content from your package
5. Save.
