You can disable selection-based interactivity for an HTML report that is viewed in Cognos Viewer to shorten the time that it takes the report to run. After you disable this functionality, you cannot:

If selection-based interactivity is enabled in Cognos Connection, a user can perform drill up and down and drill-through actions in Report Viewer or Query Studio. If selection-based interactivity is disabled in Cognos Connection, the ability to perform drill up and down and drill-through are disabled regardless of how the drill through definitions and settings are authored in Report Studio and Cognos Connection.

Selection-based interactivity is enabled by default.

Tip: You can instead enable or disable selection-based interactivity for the current run only.

Click Run with options next to the report and then click Advanced options. Click Enable selection-based interactivity in HTML reports.

  3. Click Advanced options.

  4. Clear the Enable selection-based interactivity in HTML reports check box.
