Express Mode (formerly named View Mode) is a quick-loading display mode for documents and dashboards in MicroStrategy Web. It allows a document analyst to view document results, format the look and feel of Grid/Graphs within the document, and manipulate the data in the Grid/Graphs in several ways. Express Mode provides better performance than all other modes in most situations.
If you are using Internet Explorer as your web browser, you must have Internet Explorer 7 or higher to use the interactive functionality listed below. You can still view documents in a static view in Internet Explorer 6.
If you enable accessibility in Web by selecting the Enable screen reader compatibility check box in the User Preferences, you can view the results of a document as you might in a static PDF file.
You can perform the following in Express Mode:
Manipulate Grid/Graphs by pivoting and sorting based on report objects already on the Grid/Graph.
Change the view in which a Grid/Graph is displayed. For example, you can switch a Grid/Graph from Grid view to Grid and Graph view.
Use selectors such as radio buttons and drop-down lists to change the data that is displayed in a Grid/Graph or panel.
Open links to other documents and reports.
View the document in Full Screen mode.
Click the name of a document to execute it.
From the Home menu, select Express Mode. If Express Mode is not available, you must enable Express Mode for the document. For steps, see Defining which display modes are available to users.
