In Cognos Analytics, you can create a URL for any view in your dashboard or report. You
can then send the URL by email or embed the URL in a web page or another dashboard or report.
You can share content objects, such as reports and dashboards, with a URL that opens the content
object directly, instead of having to browse to the content object from the Cognos®
Analytics
welcome screen. You can also embed Cognos
Analytics
content objects (except for data modules) in customized web pages. An embedded content object does
not display the application or navigation bars.
Procedure
-
Save your Cognos Analytics dashboard or report output in the Team
content folder.
Tip: Other users are not authorized to open content in your My

output.
