Adding reports to OpenPages

A report page does the following:

• Makes it possible for the report to be added to dashboard panels.
• Specifies the parameters for launching the report.
• Specifies the keys used for localizing the report name and description.

All Cognos® report pages are based on the CommandCenter Report page template, and all Cognos Workspace report pages are based on the CommandCenter Dashboard Redirect page template. Additionally, all IBM® Cognos Analytics dashboard and story pages are based on the Cognos Analytics Dashboard Redirect page template. These templates are located at the root of the Reporting folder on the OpenPages with Watson™ server.

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.
