Report Services is a MicroStrategy product that allows a Web Professional to design documents. You must own the MicroStrategy Report Services product to analyze data using documents in MicroStrategy Web.
To access the Report Services preferences, select Preferences from the menu at the top of MicroStrategy Web, then click Report Services. The following options are available:
Dots per inch (DPI): Specify the resolution in which documents are displayed in MicroStrategy Web. The default value is 96.
Alignment grid density: Specify the density of the grid to which objects are aligned. You can choose either Low, Medium, or High as the density.
Selection Behavior: Determine whether you must fully enclose (or only touch) a control to select it using a selection box. The options are:
Fully Enclosed: A selection box only selects the objects it completely covers.
Partially Enclosed (default): A selection box can select objects even if it only partially covers them.
Document Width Mode Calculation: This option, in conjunction with the Document width mode option in the Properties dialog box, affects the width of the document, as follows:
When both the Document width mode and the Document Width Mode Calculation options are set to Automatic (the default), the width of the document displayed in Web will be as wide as necessary to show all the content on the page.
When the Document width mode option is set to Fixed and the Document Width Mode Calculation preference is set to Automatic, the width of the document displayed in Web will not grow to accommodate additional content. This may cause parts of the document to be cut off in some cases.
When
the Document Width Mode Calculation
preference is set to Off, the
Document width mode option has no effect on the document. This may cause
parts of the document to be cut off in some cases.
Note: You may be able to improve document performance by
doing the following: If a document's Document
width mode is set to Automatic, set it to Fixed.
If you switch a document from Fixed width mode to Automatic width mode,
this may result in slower document execution.
Document Section Height Mode Calculation: This option, in conjunction with the Height can shrink and Height can grow options in the Properties and Formatting dialog box, affects the height of the document sections, as follows:
When the Document Section Height Mode Calculation option is set to Automatic (the default), the Height can shrink and Height can grow options are applied to the height of the document sections.
When
the Document Section Height Mode Calculation
option is set to Off, the Height
can shrink and Height can grow options do not affect the height of the
document sections.
For more information on the Height can shrink and Height can grow
options, see
Changing the
size of a section.
Embed Fonts in Visual Insight Mode: Determine whether to use embedded fonts to display analyses in Visual Insight Mode.
Automatic(default): Display analyses using embedded fonts, if they are supported for the current locale.
Off: Display analyses using non-embedded fonts.
Enable Flash Mode: Determine whether or not to enable Flash Mode. Flash Mode allows you to access features on a document that are provided by Flash, such as interactive widgets. This check box is selected by default.
Allow MicroStrategy Office to refresh Documents after exporting to Excel: Determine whether MicroStrategy Office has the ability to refresh documents after they have been exported to Excel. You must own the MicroStrategy Office product to modify this setting. This check box is selected by default.
Use floating toolbar to apply selector changes: A selector is an element of a dashboard that allows you to change the data that you are viewing. For example, a selector can change panels or the focus of a Grid/Graph. You can determine whether you want to use a floating toolbar to apply changes made to a selector. This check box is selected by default.
From the drop-down list at the bottom of the page, apply the changes to the current project or all projects you have access to that are stored on the Intelligence Server and then click Apply.
Warning: Clicking Load Default Values will reset all of your preferences settings.
