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 (BI) Viewer, also known as 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 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 toolbar that appears when an object is selected, report consumers can do the following tasks in the interactive viewer:
You can also start the Cognos Analytics interactive viewer by using URLs. You can open reports and pass parameters to a report. For more information, see the IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson Getting Started Guide.
- JavaScript in HTML items is removed when the report is run with full interactivity. Instead, you can add a Custom control object to add custom JavaScript to your report.
- Reports with the Run with full interactivity property turned on, as well as any reports with custom controls, are not supported for booklets. For more information, see Creating a report booklet.
