Does Cognos Analytics support the Cognos 10 "Style" preference

Question & Answer


Question

In Congos 10, a user could personalize their "Cognos Connection" theme using the "Style" property found under "My Preferences". Does Cognos 11 still support a user's ability to personalize the look of the portal user interface (UI)?

Answer

Cognos 10 personal portal "Style" feature still remains in the legacy Cognos Admin console but has been deprecated in main Cognos 11 portal.   
The new Cognos Analytics "Customisation" themes allows a Cognos Admin the ability to define and assign custom themes to different user groups/roles.
The option to do this is found in Manage > Accounts > and then selecting the Cognos namespace, then for example if you press the 3 dots next to 'Analytics User', there is a Customisation option where you can change the themes for that group of users.
