MicroStrategy ONE

Project Order in MicroStrategy Developer and Web

Projects in MicroStrategy can only be created in MicroStrategy Developer, but they can be accessed in both MicroStrategy Developer and Web. After a project is created and its associated project source is refreshed, the projects can be sorted and browsed in the following ways:

  • MicroStrategy Developer: The projects are sorted in alphabetical order within the folder list, as shown in the image below.

  • Web: By default, projects are sorted by project name, without regard to which Intelligence Server that they are on, but you can use MicroStrategy Web to change how the projects are sorted.
    • The Server Sorting setting indicates whether the projects are grouped together by Intelligence Server before sorting. The options are:
      • None: (Default) Projects are sorted independently of which Intelligence Server they are on.
      • By Name: Intelligence Servers are sorted alphabetically by name, and then projects are sorted within each Intelligence Server.
      • Default: Intelligence Servers are sorted in the order in which MicroStrategy Web connects to them, and then projects are sorted within each Intelligence Server.
    • The Project Sorting setting indicates how the projects are sorted. The options are:
      • Default: Projects are sorted in the order in which the projects are returned from Intelligence Server.
      • By Name: (Default) The projects are sorted by project name, in ascending alphabetical order.

      • By Description: The projects are sorted by project description, in ascending alphabetical order.

      Both the Server Sorting and Project Sorting settings are found in the Default Server Properties area on the Web Administrator page.

      • You can also define a custom sort order for displaying projects, by typing a number in the Project Sort Index field in the Project Display page in the Project Defaults level of the Preferences. Any projects with a custom sort index are sorted before all other projects, regardless of how the Server Sorting and Project Sorting settings are defined. If two projects have the same sort order index, then they are listed in the order specified by the Project Sorting setting described above.
