Friends,
Without getting into many details, I have a quick question to ask.
Can you produce Heat Maps using Cognos Report Author?
I have the following with some directionsbut it's really not a heat map diagram.

I am looking for a diagram that shows something like the following,

Thx in advance for you time.
Hi,
In 10.2.1 GA (with no fix packs) you can use heat maps and tree maps in Active Reports but not in non-Active (ie "normal") reports.
In 10.2.1 Fix Pack 1 and onwards (10.2.1.1) you can use these in "normal" reports too, plus in Cognos Workspace Advanced.
First you need to download the heat map and tree map visualizations from analyticszone:
https://www.analyticszone.com/homepage/web/displayMarketplacePage.action#search/-/:Visualization
Then you need to import them into your visualizations library from the Cognos Admin console.
Once you have done this, you can go to the toolbox and drag in a "Visualization" object into your report. Choose the relevant heat map / tree map.

Drag in the desired data items and you're done!
