Personal data sets
Use personal data sets to create IBM® Cognos® reports
that are based on your personal data without engaging a professional
report author. You 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.
You can import large spreadsheets, with hundreds of thousands of rows, and publish the package to any location in IBM Cognos Connection for which you have write permissions.
Users can see only their personal data sets and can delete any packages or data sets that they created. You can grant other users access to their personal data by sharing the corresponding packages.
As an administrator, you control access to this functionality through the My Data Sets capability. You can configure one repository that will contain the data sets of all users. Or, to ensure data security, you can create separate repositories for different users.
