How can I use a common headline in Cognos among many report pages?

Question

I have a Cognos report, and I created 3 pages and 1 general hint page. According to the choice of radio on the help page, I show the corresponding of these 3 pages.

On each page, I have a block that is the title, and I just show the title, current date, and the selected values ​​of the invitation controls (parameter values).

This title is the same among all pages, and I want to find a way to create only 1 section of the title, and then assign it to the top of each page. Therefore, if later I want to change something in the title, I will do it in one place.

Any ideas?

Reuse of report parts (from a report or other report in Cognos Connection) can be achieved with layout component fixes that are inserted on your report page and that relate to other existing components.

To use them, follow these steps:

• Mark the component of the layout to be reused (for example, a table or text or more or less less).
• In the list of properties for this component, go to nameand give it a unique name.
• On the report page that you want to reuse the component, drag the link instance of the layout component to the appropriate location on the page.
• Indicate the target link by selecting the report, and in the report - the named component (the same name as above).
