Enhanced user interface for activities

The user interface of the Activities and My Schedules and Activities pages is more consistent and intuitive.

The following improvements are available in Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 FP5:

  • The slide-out panel is removed, allowing administrators more room when monitoring activities.
  • Pagination helps to avoid large data loads.
  • Filtering is consistent with the administration console (filter by scope, dispatcher).
  • Filters are more prominent and easier to remove.
  • More group actions are consistent with the administration console.
  • Context menu action is consistent with the administration console.
  • Administrators can control whether to display a visualization.
  • A refresh option removes the need to reload the browser.
Activities page
Note:

As part of the Activities page redesign, some elements are removed. For example, the Find box above the Activity list no longer appears because it didn't follow the new design behavior of showing paged results.

However, if you prefer to revert to the Activities interface that existed before release 11.1.7 FP5, you can configure the advanced setting Admin.enableOldActivitiesUI to have a value of true. For more information, see Advanced settings.
