How to disallow user from customizing Cognos Workspace widgets layout? - dashboard

We are building a dashboard with Cognos workspace and wonder if it is possible to prohibit users from customizing their widgets ? We don't want them to move widgets or perform any customization. Can we do that ? It's best if we can remove all customization toolbars (both at the top of widgets and at the top of page)
Thanks.

You set this up in Administration->Security->Capabilities
The user should have access to 'Executive Dashboard'
But if you click on Executive Dashboard you have access to customize certain features within it.
'Use Advanced Dashboard Features'
and
'Use Interactive Dashboard Features'.
Always make sure you check your licenses before opening up new capabilities for your users.
Also, consider setting the Workspace Page itself as Read Only for the users. Then if they decide to change things, they will be unable to save any changes. They can always save a copy of it in their personal 'My Folders', but that will not affect the other report consumers.

Is it Possible to customize the About Tab for custom app in Microsoft Teams?

I am creating one custom application that is going to be available in the MS Teams. I have a requirement to capture data from the users in the About tab.
SO, Is it possible to customize the About Tab in Microsoft Teams for a custom application?
I will need to put the input box and form controls in that About tab.
You definitely can't customize the -capabilities- of the About box - at best you could put in a link directing users where to go to complete the form that you've hosted elsewhere. Note that the About box does support markdown, so it might even be possible to embed the link as an actual hyperlink, but I've not tried that.
As an alternative, perhaps you could offer the needed functionality into the app itself. E.g. if you have a tab, put something in the footer for example.
You cannot customize the About Tab for custom application, This is by design. You can customize the App detail page as documented here.

How to make a copy of the Quicksight analysis used by dashboard?

This is NOT a duplicate question.
I have checked Stack Overflow and have found instances of people asking the same question:
How to make a copy of a QuickSight analysis
Copy AWS QuickSight analysis to another account
The solutions provided for these questions refer to the "Save as" options at the top of the dashboard screen or the "Share" option at the top of the analysis screen. The issue is that these options are not available to me. I have admin access but I am unable to Share/Save as.
How am I able to reuse the analysis used by my dashboard?
According to the documentation ("Sharing an Existing Dashboard"), in order to see the "Save As" icon you must be either a co-owner of the dashboard or have the "Save As" privileges. The "Save As" privileges are granted by the owner of the dashboard in the UI, in the "Manage dashboard access" overlay.
I think either way you need to contact the creator of the dashboard - annoyingly I couldn't find a way to control this using the API.
If the UI controls aren't available to you, then the APIs would be the only way (via an AWS code SDK or CLI).
Regarding "Save As"
At the time of writing this, there is no way to, via the APIs, create an analysis. So, unfortunately, I think you're out of luck on this point.
You can create dashboards using either existing analyses or dashboards as the source, but I have a feeling this isn't as robust as you're looking for (since you won't be able to change the analysis). To do this, you can use the create-template API then then the create-dashboard API.
Regarding Sharing
To shared dashboards via the API you can use update-dashboard-permissions. Unfortunately, as in the case of "Save As", there's no way to share analyses via the API.

Solutions Tab is unavailable in Settings Tab under Customization to upload sample html file

I want to upload HTML page in MS Dynamics. As per my search in google, they are uploading in Solutions tab. But the Solutions tab is unavailable for me. I have Developer access.
Make sure you have System administrator & System customizer security roles under your user profile (You should have this as you are seeing Customizations subarea under Customization group in Settings area).
Check if you see Customize the system when you click the Customizations subarea. If so you can create web resource (upload HTML file) from there also with default publisher & prefix like new_
You will see Solutions options as well there
Check with your team mates if someone modified the Sitemap to hide the Solutions subarea

How to create context menus which appear on right clicking in oracle apex report?

I need to display a context menu when a user right clicks on a report
and the user can perform an action on the rows selected. How to achieve this?
I can see there is already an action button on top of an interactive report. Can we customize that?
There's no built in way to do this. I see a few options:
You could hack together your own actions. You would add a Dynamic Event on mousedown on your report, then some Javascript to handle the action.
If it doesn't have to be a right click option, you can add a custom menu to a report. Here's one way of doing it. http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2015/07/13/apex-5-0-custom-menus/
Also, if using the Interactive Grid is an option, that menu can also be customized. See: http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2017/01/24/how-to-hack-apex-interactive-grid-part-2/
If you're willing to use a commercial Apex add-on product, I have used the FOEX add-ons with great success. However, it's not cheap and it would require changing your report to use their report-style (which we like). Then you can add a context menu that's maintained via the Shared Components -> Lists.

AEM 6.2 How to switch from classic UI to Touch

How can we switch from classic UI to Touch UI in AEM 6.2. I see documentation to switch from touch ui to classic but not other way round.
Site Wide
In system console (http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr) there is an OSGi configuration for WCM Authoring UI Mode Service. You can change the property of Default authoring UI mode to TOUCH.
Per User
Login as the user, navigate to Projects (http://localhost:4502/projects.html/content/projects), select the user icon in the top right hand corner, select the settings icon, ensure that Authoring Mode has Touch-Optimized selected.
Other Items
You should also ensure the OSGi config for Day CQ Root Mapping has the property Target Path set to /projects.html
Here is a short cut to switch between the two UI modes:
Open any page from Site Admin by default it will load in Touch UI Mode. The URL will be say http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/test.html. Now to switch to classic UI you would write http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/test.html. Replace 'cf#' in the URL with 'editor.html'.
Three methods to do so are:-
[User Level]
[Global Level]Go to:-http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr
and choose WCM Authoring UI Mode Service
using cf# or editor.html
If your site is :- http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html
then
Classic UI :- http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html
Touch UI :- http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html

Unfortunately, Classic UI has been more or less abandoned since 6.1 and won't likely be updated anymore as Adobe is trying to move away from ExtJS.
That said what you could do is add a custom button to the sidekick that would navigate to the TouchUI, which would involves adding the editor.html at the root of the URL of the page (and removing the #cf if it's there)
You can follow this link that gives an example on how to add a new function to the Classic UI sidekick.
