Naming report objects for workspaces in Cognos Workspace

Provide a name for list, crosstab, and chart report objects so that they can easily be identified when added in a workspace in IBM® Cognos® Workspace.

When building a workspace in Cognos Workspace, business users can insert an entire IBM Cognos Workspace Advanced report or only insert an individual list, crosstab, or chart from a report.

By default, Cognos Workspace Advanced gives each list, crosstab, or chart in a report a default name such as List 1, Crosstab1, Chart1, and so on. In Cognos Workspace, these names appear in the Content tree. To help business users recognize the report objects, rename them to something more meaningful.

Procedure

  1. Select the list, crosstab, or report.
  2. In the Properties pane, double-click the Name property.
  3. Type a name that describes the report object.
