NetVisn takes the pain out of managing changes to your models. With its easy find and replace feature NetVisn quickly makes changes to model items whether it’s one, ten or thousands of items that need to be changed. Model dependency enables you to: - #### Selectively filter on objects by type; reports, analyses and queries. - #### Validate that the object is functional after the update as been made. - #### Have a full log history of all model item changes; date, time, objects changed, etc. [![Learn how Netvisn can solve your specific needs and challenges Sign Up for a Personalized Demo](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/70307/c764cb9d-e3c2-4a91-9564-d666f1f5c7e1.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/70307/c764cb9d-e3c2-4a91-9564-d666f1f5c7e1) #### The slides below demonstrate ***Model****** Dependency**. *Click Here to see [***Package Dependency >***](https://www.envisn.com/package-dependency)*** ***   - ![model item dependency](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-2331709568-jpg/images/Slideshow-modeldep-1.jpg "model item dependency") - ![model dependency serch results](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-2331714573-jpg/images/Slideshow-modeldep-2.jpg "model dependency serch results") - ![model item dependency in cognos](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-2335688630-jpg/images/Slideshow-modeldep-3.jpg "model item dependency in cognos") [![See What NetVisn Can Do For Your Environment Click Here to Sign Up for a Demo](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/70307/43796291-249b-4b1f-a594-72268149af9c.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/70307/43796291-249b-4b1f-a594-72268149af9c) ![return](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-2108948092-png/images/icon-return.png "return") ### [Return to NetVisn Main Page](https://www.envisn.com/netvisn) ![menu](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-2108948087-png/images/icon-menu.png "menu") ### Related Article: [How to Use Cognos Audit Data Creatively](https://www.envisn.com/envisn-cognos-blog/bid/103689/How-to-Use-Cognos-Audit-Data-Creatively) ## Learn About All the Cognos Tools from Envisn [![netvisn](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-1588871387-png/images/product-logo-netvisn.png?width=148&name=product-logo-netvisn.png)](https://www.envisn.com/netvisn) [![product-logo-univisn](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-1589306071-png/images/product-logo-univisn.png?width=148&name=product-logo-univisn.png)](https://www.envisn.com/univisn-cognos-performance-management) [![product-logo-autovisn](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-1589306066-png/images/product-logo-autovisn.png?width=148&name=product-logo-autovisn.png)](https://www.envisn.com/autovisn-cogos-scheduler) [![product-logo-docuvisn](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-1586315649-png/images/product-logo-docuvisn.png?width=148&name=product-logo-docuvisn.png)](https://www.envisn.com/docuvisn-cognos-documentation) ### [Cognos Tools from Envisn](https://www.envisn.com/envisn-products) [NetVisn](https://www.envisn.com/netvisn) [AutoVisn](https://www.envisn.com/autovisn-cogos-scheduler) [UniVisn](https://www.envisn.com/univisn-cognos-performance-management) [DocuVisn](https://www.envisn.com/docuvisn-cognos-documentation) ### [Cognos Resources](https://www.envisn.com/resources) [Envisn’s IBM Cognos Blog](https://www.envisn.com/envisn-cognos-blog) [Custom Query Library](https://www.envisn.com/custom-query-library) [Tutorial Videos](https://www.envisn.com/cognos-demo-videos) [Mastering Cognos Security](https://www.envisn.com/mastering-ibm-cognos-security) [Content Store Survival Guide](https://www.envisn.com/content-store-survival-guide) [Expert Guide to Cognos Audit Data](https://www.envisn.com/cognos-audit-data-expert-guide) ### [Contact Envisn](https://www.envisn.com/contact) [Request a Demo](https://www.envisn.com/request-a-demo) [Support](https://www.envisn.com/support) 512-991-3999 [info@envisn.com](mailto:info@envisn.com) ### Latest Cognos Posts | [![youtube](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube.png?width=30&name=youtube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/envisn) | [![linkedin](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin.png?width=30&name=linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/envisn-inc./) | [![twitter](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/twitter.png?width=30&name=twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/Envisn) | [![facebook](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook.png?width=30&name=facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/envisn/) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | [![Real Time Analytics](https://static.getclicky.com/media/links/badge.gif)](http://clicky.com/101126274) ![Clicky](https://in.getclicky.com/101126274ns.gif) 3000 Polar Lane, Suite 901, Cedar Park, TX 78613 USA *Serving North America, Europe, and the UK with plans to expand to other areas in the near future. **[Privacy, Copyright & Liability](https://www.envisn.com/privacy-copyright-liability)*
