Get started video tutorials and samples

If your administrator installs and configures the samples that are available with IBM® Cognos® Analytics, you can experiment with sample data, metrics, and report templates.

If you're a beginning user, as part of the base samples, there are Get started tutorials with samples (including data), videos, and written procedures to guide you through creating your first reports, active reports, dashboards and stories.

These Get started samples and the sample data are in Team content, in the Get started folder. The Data folder includes Microsoft Excel files that were uploaded and saved for you to use with the Get started tutorials. The Version 11.0.x base samples report is added only to inform you about the version of IBM Cognos Analytics that these samples are included with. To complete the tutorials, open the samples to see the finished product, then click the link beside this icon to watch the tutorial video. (For the dashboard samples, the video link is embedded).

For more information, see the IBM Cognos Analytics Samples Guide.
