Hey guys,
I have half a dozen reports that I run weekly, and I'm trying to automate them with Cognos.
There are a few pages of these reports that are common to all reports. Those parts are ready, now the question is, if I make a second report, can I import the part that's in common?

Thanks!
Eric
 
If you use C8/C10 Report Studio it is perfectly possible to copy report pages between reports. However, you need to copy other elements in the right order:

1. All associated queries
2. All defined variables (if any)
3. Complete report page (which includes list , crosstabs, graphs etc)

Thanks Ties.

I was actually wondering if it'd be possibly to link them more dynamically. The issue is that if I do an update on one page, I'd like it to affect all the reports.

Thanks,
Eric
 
Only as a layout component reference. You can define 1 template and use header/footer etc as link for layout comp. reference for all other reports, but that is as far as it goes..
