Once a designer creates a Transaction Services-enabled document to allow you to approve requests, track business activity, and execute business decisions, you can perform these tasks directly from the document. You can use the document to interact with the data in Express Mode in Web, and when viewed on an iPhone or iPad with MicroStrategy Mobile.
For steps to use a Transaction Services-enabled document to update data when viewed on an iPhone or iPad, see the Mobile Analysis Guide.
You must have the Transaction Services product.
You must have the Execute Transaction privilege.
This procedure assumes the Transaction Services-enabled document has already been created.
Open the document in Express Mode.
Click the text field or grid cell of the value you want to edit, then do one of the following:
To edit a value in a Text Field or Text Area control, type a value in the field, then press ENTER.

To select a time from a Time Picker control, do one of the following:

To choose a value in a Switch control, select or clear the check box.

If the designer has created the document to allow you to select individual rows of data in a grid to submit, click the Mark Rows icon at the top left of the grid. A check box is displayed next to each row of data in the document. Select the check box for each row of data you want to submit.
Do one of the following:
Note: Different action selector buttons or links may be available
depending on how the designer has created the document. The names of the
submit, recalculate, and discard buttons or links may change depending
on how the designer has defined them.
To submit your changes and update the data using the values you specified, click the Submit button or link.
To update the values displayed in the Grid/Graph or panel stack, click the Recalculate button or link. The values of the derived metrics and subtotals, apply number formatting, apply conditional formatting, and other values calculated by the Analytical Engine are updated and displayed.
To discard your changes, click the Discard Changes button or link. When you click the button or link, any changes you have made to the input object controls displayed in the Grid/Graph or panel stack are reverted to the values from the last time changes were submitted.
