Report Studio

The (Don't Print) class allows HTML items to display in the Web browser but not to print.

The (Don't Print) class behaves as follows in the various report output formats

• HTML
  The web browser defines the behavior. The HTML standard is that the item appears on the screen in the browser but is excluded by the print operation of the browser.
• PDF
  The item is excluded from the output.
• Excel 2002
  The class is specified in the HTML that Cognos uses to render Excel 2002 output. However, Excel 2002 does not appear to honor it and displays the item as missing some or all other style definitions.
• Excel 2007
  The item is excluded from the output.
• CSV
  The item is included in the output.
• XML
  The item is included in the output.

An alternative way to consistently exclude a report object from HTML, PDF and Microsoft Excel output is to set the Box Type property for the object to None. CSV and XML report outputs will still contain the object.
