Managing visualizations

After you import visualizations into IBM® Cognos® Administration, you can manage them on the Library tab.

About this task

You can perform the following actions to manage the visualization resources:

Set properties
Visualizations are assigned default properties, including access permissions, when they are imported. Library administrators can change the default settings, including access permissions, for a visualization resource.

For more information see, Entry Properties and Set access permissions for an entry.

Important: The Set properties icon in the toolbar is used to set properties, including access permissions, for the Visualizations page in the Library.
View my permissions
Administrators can view their own permissions for each visualization.
Delete
You can delete individual or multiple visualizations from the content store database.
Download

In IBM Cognos Administration, on the Library tab, click the Visualizations page.
In the visualizations list you can perform the following tasks:
- To manage one visualization, click its drop-down action menu, and click the chosen action.
