By default, MicroStrategy Web automatically calculates the width of your document and height of your document's sections when the document is executed. This ensures that the document is automatically resized to display all of its content.
If you disable this automatic size adjusting, you can improve the speed at which the document is executed.
This change applies to documents executed in Editable Mode, Interactive Mode, or Express Mode only. Enabling or disabling automatic resizing does not affect how a document is exported to Excel or PDF. When a document is exported to Excel or PDF, it is automatically positioned as far to the right as necessary to effectively display the document.
Click the Preferences link at the top right of MicroStrategy Web. The User Preferences page opens.
From the left, select Report
Services. The Report Services user preferences are displayed.
Note: If you are an administrator, you can specify these
Report Services preferences on a project-wide basis in the Report Services
preferences within the Project Defaults page.
To ensure that the width of your document is not resized automatically, from the Document Width Mode Calculation drop-down list, select Off.
To ensure that the height of sections in your document are not resized automatically, from the Document Section Height Mode Calculation drop-down list, select Off.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Change the size of your sections in your document. For steps, see Changing the size of sections.
You can also improve the speed at which a document is executed by setting the following properties. You can edit these properties in the Layout tab of the Properties dialog box when editing a document section:
Clear the Can Shrink and Can Grow check boxes.
Select the Hide if Empty check box.
Note: In some cases, your PDF document may appear differently than the document displayed in one of the view modes. For example, if you add a grid report to a section and enable the Can Grow setting for this section, when the document is executed in PDF, the section will automatically adjust such that the entire grid is displayed regardless of the amount of data within it. However, when the document is executed in MicroStrategy Web, if the Document Section Height Mode Calculation option is set to Off, the section retains its fixed height and the grid may appear truncated, depending on the amount of data it contains.
