Create a Page with TM1 Content

You can create pages in IBM® Cognos® Connection and add the TM1® content to the pages. The pages are saved in Public Folders or My Folders. If you plan to share a page with other users, save it in Public Folders.

After you create the page, you can edit it to modify its contents, layout and style, and to set access permissions. You can delete pages in IBM Cognos Connection if you have the required access permissions for the pages. Deleting a page may affect your portal tabs.
