Limited and fully interactive reports
Reports can run in limited interactivity or full interactivity mode.
You specify the interactivity mode by setting the report property Run with full interactivity.
When a report is set to run with limited interactivity, the report runs in the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Viewer, also known as the IBM Cognos Viewer. Report consumers can drill up, drill down, and drill through. Any JavaScript or prompt API that is contained in the report is run. By default, Cognos BI reports run with limited interactivity.
When a report is set to run with full interactivity, the report runs in the IBM Cognos Analytics interactive viewer. By default, reports that are created in Cognos Analytics are set to run with full interactivity. By clicking various icons in the report object toolbar that appears when an object is selected, report consumers can do the following in the Cognos Analytics interactive viewer:
Report consumers can also save changes that are made to a report as a new report.
You can also start the Cognos
Analytics
interactive viewer by using URLs. You can open reports and pass parameters to a report. For more
