Run variations of reports with report views

If you want to run an existing IBM® Cognos® Analytics report with different prompt values, schedules, delivery methods, run options, languages, or output formats, you can create a report view. Creating a report view does not change the original report.

To create a report view , run a report using the prompt values or other run options that you want and in the save options, select Save as report view. Your prompt values and run options are saved in the view. If you want to edit the prompt values for the report view, open the report view properties panel.

You can also create a report view in My content or Team content. Tap the context menu next to a report, and then tap Create report view.

In the properties panel for the report view, you can see a link to the source report. If the source report is moved to another location, the report view link is maintained. If the source report is deleted, the report view link breaks.
