Strategy ONE

Disabling page-by

By default, page-by is enabled for all the grouping fields in a document. If you disable page-by for a particular grouping field, any fields to the right of it in the Grouping panel are also disabled. You can also leave page-by enabled but prevent the simultaneous display of all the elements. This can be useful for grouping fields that have many elements. For steps, see Enabling page-by.

If you disable page-by for a group that has totals, the group total is still shown but you cannot display totals only. See Showing totals for a group for an example of group totals.

To disable page-by or disable display of all elements

  1. In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Grouping. The Grouping panel is displayed.
  3. In the Grouping panel, right-click the grouping field on which to disable page-by, and select Grouping Properties. The Grouping Properties dialog box for that grouping field opens.

  4. To disable page-by, from the Page-By Mode drop-down list, select No Page-By (All Only). Disabling this causes the All option to be disabled when the document is viewed as a PDF.

    Page-by for any grouping fields to the right of the selected field in the Grouping panel is also disabled.

  5. Click Apply to apply your changes.
