Create a default map

Once Esri Maps for IBM Cognos is installed and configured in your environment, report authors can create reports augmented with maps. If your organization wants to standardize a template, or default, from which report authors start creating maps, you can ask a report author to create the default map using Esri Maps Designer.

Once the default map has been configured, the map specification (accessed through Advanced > Show map specification in the map in Esri Maps Designer) can be copied to the appropriate sections in defaultMap.json.txt.
