XML Style Files

After creating a custom style using the style management utility, XML style files are then used to make global changes to the appearance of Cognos® Connection and Cognos Administration.

The utility also validates XML style files, saves the XML files to Content Manager, and publishes new styles making them visible to users. The utility can also delete custom styles.

Since the XML style files created using the style management utility are stored in Content Manager, they can be upgraded.
