Cognos Workspace is a new tool for Cognos Business Intelligence that allows the end users to develop and share their dashboards. The product is designed to make it easy for the end users to choose the data that is most important to them and to consolidate it in one location. In Cognos Workspace, you can customize the color schemes of your objects and change the chart type of your charts. You can also add comments and share the reports. Cognos Workspace makes it easy for the users to access the information on their own without having to create their own queries. In short, it is the perfect tool for power-end users that know the information they want but do not have an understanding of the underlying data.
In the next chapter, we will look at another end-user interface called IBM Cognos Active Reports for interacting with IBM Cognos Business Intelligence data.
