Choosing a basic report layout

IBM® Cognos® Workspace Advanced includes several basic report layouts that include report objects, such as lists, crosstabs, and charts. You can also choose to start with a blank report or create a new report from an existing report or template.

Note: You cannot choose a basic report layout when you have opened a widget from a workspace in IBM Cognos Workspace to edit it in IBM Cognos Workspace Advanced. In this case, the widget already has a basic report layout.
