Configure an interactive behavior to update report objects

You can set up an interactive behavior to update report objects when report consumers select or click points or regions on the map. This behavior can be configured on layers created from IBM Cognos data and on feature service layers.

To configure a map with this behavior using Esri Maps Designer, your report must first be configured correctly in Report Studio. To learn more about report configuration in Report Studio, see the IBM Cognos Report Studio User Guide.

To learn more about the interactive behaviors you can configure in Esri Maps Designer, see About interactive behaviors.

In Report Studio, create a new report.
In your report, drag Esri Map from the Toolbox tab of the Insertable Objects pane to the report page.
Create and populate a new query that will be reserved for the map and not used by any other report items.
Save your report in Report Studio.
Open Esri Maps Designer and browse to the report you just created. Next to the corresponding map, click Configure to open the map.
In the map configuration window that appears, add data to your map. See Add IBM Cognos data to your map.
When you are finished adding data, click the Show map contents icon to display the Contents pane.
On the Contents pane, click the arrow to the right of the layer for which you want to configure the behavior.
Click IBM Cognos interactivity.
Click Update report objects and click Add new.
Note:
If you have already configured an interactive behavior for the layer, you will need to click the Add icon before adding and configuring the new behavior.
To delete an interactive behavior, click the Delete icon.
Optionally type a new label for the behavior in the Label box.
From the Trigger drop-down menu, select the action type (On selection or On click) you want to use for the behavior.
From the Layer attribute drop-down menu, select the attribute field you want to update.
From the Query drop-down menu, select the IBM Cognos query that has the data item corresponding to the layer field you selected.
From the Data item drop-down list, select the report data item corresponding to the layer field you selected.
Beside Report objects, check the check boxes for the report objects you want to update.
Click Done.
Note:
If you want to change the behavior configuration later, click IBM Cognos interactivity on the layer settings pane and click the Configure icon beside Update report objects.
