Bookmark an Entry

You can bookmark an IBM® Cognos® entry in your Web browser so that later you can quickly perform the default action associated with the entry. For example, using a report bookmark, you can view the most recent report output, run the report, or open it in an authoring tool.

For more information, see Set Default Report Options.

The bookmark saves the URL of the entry and its default action at the time when the bookmark was created.

Some default actions are available only to users who

have the required access permissions for the entries.
have the required product components installed.
have access to specific, secured functions and features.
For example, the capabilities to use a specific IBM Cognos Business Intelligence studio.
use specific Web browsers.

For example, to open an agent, users must have read and traverse permissions for the agent, have Event Studio installed and the permissions to use it, and use Microsoft Internet Explorer as their Web browser.
