A MicroStrategy Report Services document displays data coming from multiple reports, with the data laid out and designed in presentation-quality format. Most data on a document is from one or more underlying datasets. A dataset is a standard MicroStrategy report. Other document components that do not originate from the dataset, such as static text used for a title or heading, page numbers, and images, are added by the document's designer and are stored in the document's definition.
A dashboard is a special type of document. A dashboard is commonly only one page long, is intended to be viewed online, and usually provides interactive features that let analysts change how they view the dashboard’s data, as well as what data they are viewing.
You must have the MicroStrategy Report Services product to view and create documents and dashboards.
Note: HTML documents are different than (Report Services) documents in MicroStrategy. An HTML document is an HTML shell into which you can place MicroStrategy reports and other graphics, and control the formatting and appearance with style sheets. The term document signifies a Report Services document. For information about HTML documents, see Working with HTML documents.
