MicroStrategy ONE

Customizing the Report Details pane

MicroStrategy Developer users can determine what information appears in the Report Details pane for all reports viewed on their machines. You can configure the following report details:

  • Filter details, which display the report filter and report limit by default, although other types of filters can be displayed
  • Report limit details, which display the report limit
  • Prompt details, which display the prompt information for all prompts in the report
  • Report details, which display the report description, prompt details, filter details, and template details.
  • Template details, which display the complete template details, including attribute and metric details

You can configure different options for different types of report details. For example, you can select whether to include view filter information or the attribute name in the filter details. For report details, you can choose whether to include information on prompts or filters. For complete descriptions of all the report detail options, see the MicroStrategy Developer Help (formerly the MicroStrategy Desktop Help) or the Advanced Reporting Help.

The following image displays the report description, report filter, and report limits information in the Report Details pane in a report:

You can configure the report details for a specific report, with the Report Details Formatting option in the Report Editor, or for the entire project, with the Project Configuration Editor. Settings configured at the report level override settings configured at the project level. For steps to set the report details formatting options, see the Developer Help or the Advanced Reporting Help.

The Report Details preferences specified in the Developer Preferences dialog box override the report details properties that control whether the following information is displayed:

  • Report description
  • Prompt details
  • Filter details
  • Definition of shortcut filters
  • View filter details
  • Metric details

You can change this behavior by disabling Developer Preferences for report details, as described in the following procedure. For steps to customize report details using Developer Preferences, see the Developer Help or the Advanced Reporting Help.

  2. Expand the Reports category, and then select Report Details.
  3. To use the report details properties instead of the Developer Preferences, clear the Apply these Developer preferences to the Report Details check box.
