    This illustration outlines how to safely remove the Quick reference section from the Cognos home. The Quick reference section is rendered as a <div> with a named class of homeReferenceContainer. One solution is to simply hide it using javascript. It is helpful to locate the exact <div> by pressing F12 in the Chrome web browser and drilling down / selecting the homeReferenceContainer element within the body of the html:

    I had the same requirement to remove the "Quick Reference" menu. This now works in the 11.1.2 release.

    You need a custom view with the spec json excluding the "com.ibm.bi.bahome_common.quickReferences" item.

     

    {
        "name":"SampleConsumers",
        "schemaVersion": "1.0",
        "comment": "Extensions for Consumers role in Sample.",    
        "extensions": [
        {
            "perspective": "home",
            "comment": "Removes content that is not useful or usable for the role.",
            "features": [{
                "id": "wfg.homePerspective.excludeItems",
                "excludeItems":["com.ibm.bi.bahome_common.quickReferences", "com.ibm.bi.glass.common"],
                "comment": "Consumers will not understand the quick references since they are focused on content authors."
            }]
        }]
    }
