Taking ownership of a schedule

When you edit a schedule owned by someone else, you can take ownership of the schedule during your current Cognos Analytics session.

For example, a schedule owner is on vacation, but you don't have access permissions to change the schedule. You can take temporary ownership of the schedule and change some scheduling options while they are away. However, the schedule's credentials change back to the original owner as soon as you exit the session.

  4. Click Use My Credentials.

    Your name appears in the Credentials field.

  5. Make changes to the schedule.
  6. Click Save to save the schedule.

Results
