Incident list custom widget

The installation and integration of IBM Cognos® Analytics is available only for technology preview, and is not for production usage.  The installation and integration of IBM Cognos® Analytics is available only for technology preview, and is not for production usage.

The Cloud Pak for AIOps Incident list custom widget can use data selection events from IBM Cognos Analytics visualizations. For example, a bar chart visualization represents priority data. If a high priority bar is selected in the visualization, the Incident list custom widget corresponds and shows high priority incidents only (if the related data source column and Incident property names are matched in the column mapping).

You can use the Incident list widget in conjunction with an Alert list widget. To see the alerts related to a specific incident, select the incident in the widget and the alerts in the Alert list widget are filtered down to the alerts for that incident.
