Customizing Object Actions
You can customize actions available for objects,
such as packages, folders, URLs, jobs, queries reports, or report
views, in IBM® Cognos® Connection.
For example, if your IBM Cognos environment does not support creating report views or copying reports, you can remove the actions associated with these options from the user interface.
The actions include the buttons in the Actions column in the IBM Cognos Connection main view, and the links and icons in the Perform an action page that is accessed by clicking the More link in the Actions column.
The customizable actions for each object class are specified under the base-object-actions element in the c10_location/templates/ps/portal/system.xml file. To customize the actions, you must modify this file.
You can perform the following customization of actions:
- Remove an action from the main view in IBM Cognos Connection
- Remove an action from the actions page
- Add a custom action
- Expose a shortcut action
