IBM Cognos Workspace
Embedding and Customizing Workspaces – Cognos Workspace can be embedded in any third party application or
organization portal enabling organizations to provide embedded analytics
with a customized and unique experience for their users • Embedded workspaces can include or omit parts of the IBM Cognos user
interface
• In applications or portals that contain a prompted workspace, users can
append prompt parameter values to the URL to pass new prompt parameter
values to the workspace or to avoid being prompted.
