Printing a Report

You may need to review a report when your computer is not available, or you may need to take a copy of a report to a meeting.

You can use run options to print a report and choose a printer Setting advanced report options for the current run.

To print reports, you must have the Generate PDF Output capability. In IBM Cognos Metric Studio if you lack the Generate PDF Output capability and you attempt to print, you see an error message.

In Cognos Workspace, you can print the workspace without generate output capabilities, but in a widget, to print a report in the PDF format, you require the Generate PDF Output capability. If you lack this capability, the print option is hidden in the user interface.
