Adding reports to OpenPages
To run a report, the report must
first have a corresponding report page published to the OpenPages® server.
A report page does the following:
- Makes it possible for the report to be added to tab panels on the dashboard.
- Specifies the parameters for launching the report.
- Specifies the keys used for localizing the report name and description.
The following templates are used:
- All Cognos® report pages are based on the
CommandCenter Reportpage template. - All IBM® Cognos
Analytics dashboard and story pages are
based on the
Cognos Analytics Dashboard Redirectpage template. - All Cognos Workspace report pages are based
on the
CommandCenter Dashboard Redirectpage template. (Applies to Cognos 11 only.)
These templates are located at the root of the Reporting folder on the OpenPages server.
To publish reports to a locale other than US English, see Publishing reports to a locale other than US English.
You can use the following methods to add new reports to OpenPages:
- Method 1: You can manually create the required report page and publish the
report. This method is typically used for editing report pages and troubleshooting publishing
issues.
For more information, see Method 1: Manually add and edit pages to create and modify reports.
- Method 2: You can automatically generate the required report page and
application text keys after identifying a Cognos report for publication.
For more information, see Method 2: Automatically publishing Cognos reports.
Note: The actions you can take depend on your application permissions. For more information, see
Publishing permissions.
