Formatting Default Values

An autostyle is a collection of all the formatting layers, allowing you to format different grid units on different report sections. Not every grid unit must be configured to create an autostyle, so any grid unit can have formatting options set to default. Recall that formats are applied in a particular order, as described in Order of Layers. When the lowest layer is set to default, the options are supplied by the guiprop.pds file. This file is saved in the \Common Files\MicroStrategy directory.

This appendix provides the default values for all the formatting options. Each tab of the Format dialog box is listed below, with the default values for each option on that tab.
