In Esri Maps for IBM Cognos, you can interact with the map and other objects in a report in different ways. If the report author has enabled pop-up windows, you can click a feature on the map to display a pop-up window with information about the feature. You can zoom to the selected feature by clicking the Zoom to icon on the pop-up window. You can also view visualizations that provide rich contextual information about the areas surrounding the selected feature by clicking the Infographics icon. For more information, see Infographics.

Depending on what the report author has configured, you may also be able to click or make selections on the map to initiate interactivity between the map and other objects in the report. Interactive behaviors that might be enabled in the report include:

• Update report objects—Click or use selection tools to select a point or region on the map, and update all related objects (charts, lists, data cross-tabs, and so on) for which the action was defined.
• Set prompt—Click or use selection tools to select points or regions on the map to initiate a prompt for running a defined query on the report.
• Drill through—Click a point or region on the map to run and display other reports containing related data associated with the selected point or region.
