Administrators typically configure default settings for each instance of a portlet before making it available to users.
When you access the Cognos portlets through your portal, you can change some settings to customize instances of each Cognos portlet. You can then save your settings for subsequent sessions.
You can change the content and layout of a portlet using the
edit button on the title bar. If the page or portlet
is read-only or locked by an administrator, the edit button is disabled
or does not appear on the portlet title bar.
