Interaction of Report Details Preferences and Report Details for Reports

The report details preferences specified in the Developer Preferences dialog box specify which types of report details are displayed. These preferences override some of the report details that are configured in the Report Details Properties dialog box in the Project Configuration Editor and the Report Editor. For example, you choose prompt details as a report details preference. When you open a prompted report, the name of each prompt and its prompt answers are displayed in the Report Details pane. You cannot remove the prompt details display from that report, unless you remove prompt details as a report details preference or disable report details preferences. In the report itself, however, you can configure how the prompt details are displayed, such as whether the title of the prompt is displayed.

The report details preferences specify whether the following types of report details are displayed:

  • Report description
  • Prompt details
  • Filter details
  • Definition of shortcut filters, as opposed to the filter name
  • View filter details
  • Template/metric details

You can change this behavior by disabling the report details preferences, which allows the report details settings to be used instead. You can disable the report details preferences when you save changes to the report details settings or by using the Developer Preferences dialog box. Steps to disable them using the Developer Preferences dialog box are below. For more information about the report details preferences in general, see Enabling and Customizing Report Details Preferences.

The report details preferences do not affect auto text codes in documents; the preferences only impact reports.

  1. In MicroStrategy Developer, choose Tools > Preferences.
  2. Click the Report category and click Report Details.
