Apply a Template

You can apply a template to your analyses to give them the same look. For example, you can use a template to customize page headers and footers and to display a company logo.

Before you begin

IBM® Cognos® Analysis Studio templates must be created in Report Studio before they can be applied. For more information, see the IBM Cognos Report Studio User Guide.

Note: Templates created in previous versions of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence may not be compatible with IBM Cognos Analysis Studio.

Procedure

  1. Open the analysis that you want in Analysis Studio.
  2. From the Run menu, click Report Options.
  3. On the Report Template tab, click Apply Template and then click Select a template.
  4. Locate the template you want to apply, click it and then click Open.
  5. Click OK.
  6. If you want to remove any custom formatting previously added to the report, select the Reset all styles to template defaults check box.
  7. Click OK.

    The template is applied when the analysis is run in Cognos Viewer.
