Notes

  • When re-running a report with multiple prompts, make sure you clear any initial selections to avoid inconsistent results.  For example, if you originally ran the report for an organizational unit and now wish to run it for an account, clear the selected organizational unit before selecting the account.
  • Multiple Cognos functionality can be opened at the same time, such as reports and Query Studio, by using the banner on the left side of the webpage to navigate to other items.
  • Reports and tools stay open until you close them or log off.
