Uncluttering the dashboard : Full Screen mode

You may want users to view a dashboard or other document without all of the navigation information located on the interface—toolbars, menus, and panels such as the Dataset Objects panel. Hiding the navigation tools:

This view is called Full Screen Mode, and it is particularly helpful when analyzing a dashboard document that contains multiple Grid/Graphs, sections, and images. Full screen Mode helps you create interfaces that are easy for users to read.

MicroStrategy's Standard toolbar (displaying icons) and Grouping panel (displaying dashboard pages) still appear in Full Screen Mode, so the user can interact with the document as usual.

You can ensure that when a document is executed, it opens in Full Screen mode by default.

To have a document or dashboard open in Full Screen mode

  1. Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.

  2. From the Tools menu, select Document Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.

  3. From the left, select Document.

  4. In the General area, select the Always open this document in full screen mode check box.

  5. Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog box/panel. The next time the document is executed, it will automatically open in Full Screen mode.
