Run/Open a report with URL parameters

Question

The idea is to call from outside of Cognos the link of the report with some parameters. So the user will not need to put the parameters when he opens the report. They will automatically filter the parameters. Using URL parameters or something like that.

I'm using the IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1 R7.

Someone know if this is possible? Have some tutorial?

Answer 1

This is definitely possible! Every piece of content has a share URL, and report prompt parameters can be added to the URL. More info here:
