Disable Selection-based Interactivity

You can disable selection-based interactivity for an HTML report that is viewed in IBM® Cognos® Viewer to shorten the time that it takes the report to run.

After you disable this functionality, you cannot:

  • drill up and down in a report
  • drill through to other reports
  • use IBM Cognos Search
  • use conditional report delivery
  • use agent notification

If selection-based interactivity is enabled in IBM Cognos Connection, a user can perform drill up and down and drill-through actions in Report Viewer or Query Studio. If selection-based interactivity is disabled in IBM Cognos Connection, the ability to perform drill up and down and drill-through are disabled regardless of how the drill through definitions and settings are authored in Report Studio and IBM Cognos Connection.

Selection-based interactivity is enabled by default.

Tip: You can instead enable or disable selection-based interactivity for the current run only.

Click Run with options next to the report and then click Advanced options. Click Enable selection-based interactivity in HTML reports.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Connection, click the set properties button Set properties icon on the actions toolbar to the right of the report.
  2. Click the Report tab for a Report Studio report, the Query tab for a Query Studio report, or the Analysis tab for an Analysis Studio report.
    Tip: Disabling selection-based interactivity on an Analysis Studio report has no effect.
  3. Click Advanced options.
  4. Clear the Enable selection-based interactivity in HTML reports check box.

Results

Note that disabling selection-based interactivity on an Analysis Studio report has not effect.
