A document can be opened in one of several different display modes in which you can work with documents, including Editable, Interactive, Express, and Flash Mode. See Choosing a display mode: Design, Editable, Flash, Interactive, and Express for a comparison of the different modes. As the document designer, you can select the modes that are available for a specific document by enabling each you want to make available for users of the document.
To enable Flash Mode, a project administrator must ensure that Flash Mode is enabled in the project, as described in the Web Administrator Project Defaults help. An individual document designer or analyst can also disable Flash Mode on his machine if he knows that Flash is not installed or does not want to use Flash. To do this, select Preferences at the top of MicroStrategy Web, select Report Services on the left, and select to enable or disable Flash Mode.
You can also define which mode the document should initially open in, as explained in Determining document display modes.
Open a document in Design or Editable Mode.
From the Tools menu, click Document Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.
From the left, select Document.
To make a mode available in the document, select the check box in the Available column for that display mode. For example, if you want to ensure that Editable Mode and Interactive Mode are the only display modes available in the document, select those check boxes in the Available display modes column.
Clear the check boxes for any display modes you do not want users to have access to.
Click OK to apply the change and return to the document. The next time the document is executed, only the display modes you selected are available in the View menu or on the Standard toolbar.
