New features in version 10.2.2
The following features are new in the 10.2.2 version of IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence.
- Using personal data sets in Cognos Business Intelligence
Individual business users can use the My Data Sets feature to create IBM Cognos reports that are based on their personal data without engaging a professional report author. The users can import data from a CSV, XLS or XLSX file, create a stand-alone package for the data in IBM Cognos Connection, and generate reports from that data. - Create and customize user interface profiles
To meet the specific needs of your organization, you can now create and customize new user interface (UI) profiles for Cognos Workspace Advanced users. You use UI profiles to control the features and functionality that are available in the user interface (UI). Users with different profiles see different interfaces and experience different default behavior. - Restrictions on report output formats
Administrators can now restrict the ability of users to run reports in the CVS, PDF, Microsoft Excel, and XML output formats. Separate secured functions (capabilities) control the report formats that users can see and run in the user interface. - Delegated tenant administration
System Aministrators can now delegate tenant administration tasks to members of the Tenant Administrators role. - Content sharing among tenants
The new tenant bounding set property allows a user to belong to multiple tenants. As a result, it is possible to set up content sharing among tenants. - Tab names in Excel 2007 reports
When the advanced property RSVP.EXCEL.PAGEGROUP_WSNAME_ITEMVALUE is set to true, the tabs in Excel 2007 output are dynamically named according to the page breaks that are specified. - Ability to enable parameter caching for the report service
If parameter caching is enabled for the report service, prompt pages might run more quickly and the overall server performance can improve. - Support for Liferay Portal
The IBM Cognos content portlets can be deployed to this Java-based, open-source enterprise portal. - Certificate authentication for Cognos Mobile apps
Certificate authentication, also known as two-way SSL authentication or mutual authentication, is now supported for IBM Cognos Mobile native apps. - Accessibility in Cognos Administration and Cognos Mobile
IBM Cognos Administration has accessibility features that help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products.
