Additional Innovations in Cognos Business Intelligence


IBM Cognos Workspace

Embedding and Customizing Workspaces – Cognos Workspace can be embedded in any third party application or

organization portal enabling organizations to provide embedded analytics

with a customized and unique experience for their users • Embedded workspaces can include or omit parts of the IBM Cognos user

interface

• In applications or portals that contain a prompted workspace, users can

append prompt parameter values to the URL to pass new prompt parameter

values to the workspace or to avoid being prompted.

21

New in 10.2.1.1


Embeddable Workspaces

22


Cognos Workspace:

New recommended visualizations to

better depict your content i.e. Marimekko

charts, Pareto charts, Progressive charts

and Radar charts

Improved printing

Use + marks in crosstab to expand items

Hide tool bars

Move tabs and global areas

Cut, copy and paste widgets and

duplicate tabs – Cut, copy, and paste widgets from one

tab to another, from one workspace to

another, or to or from the global area

enabling users to save time in creating

dashboards

– Duplicate tabs provide a convenient

way to use one tab as a template for

another saving time and giving

workspaces a consistent look and feel
