Recommendation - publish data with fixed content

Publish data with fixed content to prevent changes from the content store. You can send the Microsoft Office document to someone who does not have an IBM® Cognos® for Microsoft Office component installed or does not have a license for it.

Remove the link between the Microsoft Office document and IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office.

Use the Remove Report function if you want to present part of the Microsoft Office document with fixed data. In this case, you could add fixed corporate data that all regional managers should view to the master workbook, presentation, or document. Then you can delete the link from the report to the document while leaving the common data in the cells, slide, or document.
