--- title: Package Dependency - Manage Change in Cognos description: NetVisn takes the pain out of managing changes to packages in your Cognos environment. --- [![envisn](https://www.envisn.com/hs-fs/file-15282154-gif/images/logo.gif?width=120&name=logo.gif "envisn")](https://www.envisn.com) [![Request a Demo](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/70307/973f9256-ef61-4ab8-ab2d-a004a90a18be.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/70307/973f9256-ef61-4ab8-ab2d-a004a90a18be) ![cognos package dependency](https://www.envisn.com/hubfs/images/icon-pkg-dependency-change.png "cognos package dependency") # Package Dependency Change Change is a constant in the Cognos world. NetVisn quickly and easily changes the package dependency on existing reports, or assigns packages to reports which may have lost their dependency through package deletion. Whether it’s two or two thousand NetVisn does it fast. Package dependency enables you to: - #### Filter object on specific package or object missing a package dependency - #### Set new package and options: Filter on object type and/or on location - #### “Verify After Update” insures that the object will run successfully after the change is made - #### Full log history of all changes made is maintained [![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 ***Package Dependency Change**. *Click Here to see [***Model Dependency >***](https://www.envisn.com/model-dependency)*** ***   -
