Add a Data-driven Metric Studio Diagram to a Report
If you use a metrics package (which is a relational
data source), you can insert a Metric Studio diagram directly from
the Toolbox tab. Because you add the diagram
from the metrics store, any changes to the metrics will appear in
the diagram image when you re-run your report.
If you add diagrams from the Metric History table of the metrics package, one diagram is added for each metric per time history. As a result, your report could contain a large number of diagrams. To improve the performance of your report, consider adding a filter to limit the time period.
Procedure
- Open IBM® Cognos® Report Studio with a metrics package.
- From the Toolbox tab
, insert a diagram
query item to the report. - If you want to make the diagram image accessible, select the image object for the diagram, and in the Alternate Text box, type a description for the image.
