Replace Reports in the Portal

If you change a report that was already published to the IBM Cognos portal (either Upfront or IBM Cognos Connection), you can replace the report for other report consumers. You can only replace a report if you access the report from the portal and if you have write access to the portal location.

Your administrator specifies the portal to which reports are published: Upfront or IBM Cognos Connection.

Steps

1. From an Upfront NewsBox or an IBM Cognos Connection folder, open a report.
2. Explore and format your report until you are satisfied with its current state:
   • In PowerPlay Web Viewer, use the Modify Reports page.
   • In PowerPlay Web Explorer, use any of the available commands to format and explore the report.
3. On the PowerPlay Web toolbar, click the Save button .

The report information is replaced in the portal location, and the report remains open in your Web browser.
