Fields

All element browsing result rows Limits the number of rows that can be retrieved from the database for an attribute element request. Values of 0 and -1 indicate no limit. Both MicroStrategy Developer and MicroStrategy Web have the ability to incrementally fetch element rows from Intelligence Server. This is set to 32,000 by default.

All intermediate result rows Limits the number of rows that can be in an intermediate result set used for analytical processing. This is not the number of rows that may be created in an intermediate or temporary table on the database. Intelligence Server uses intermediate tables for all analytic calculations that cannot be done on the database. Values of 0 and -1 indicate no limit. This is set to 32,000 by default.

All intermediate result rows for Document/Dashboard views Specify the maximum number of rows that can be part of the intermediate result set when combining datasets to create the view of data for a document or dashboard. If the number of rows in a document or dashboard exceeds the specified limit, an error is displayed and no results are shown for the document or dashboard. A value of 0 or -1 indicates no limit. This is set to 50,000,000 by default.

Allow reports to drill outside the Intelligent Cube Select this option to enable drilling outside the Intelligent Cube to access the full set of data available in the data warehouse. By enabling drilling outside an Intelligent Cube, reports that access the Intelligent Cube have ROLAP access to data through drilling. This option is disabled by default.

Always open dashboards/documents with the last saved view in Library This option allows users to specify the default opening view for Library end users. The available options are Default, Yes, and No. This option can be overwritten by the dashboard or document level setting.

Default This option is inherited from the server level setting.
Yes All content in the project opens with the last saved view intended by the author (base view). The dashboard or document is always reset upon execution.
No All content in the project opens with the last viewed state of the user. For example, if the user views the Finance page last and then closes the dashboard or document, the Finance page opens upon the next execution.

Apply Automatic Expiration Logic for reports containing dynamic dates When enabled, the caches for reports that use dynamic dates expire at midnight of the last day in the dynamic date filter. This setting is enabled by default.

Apply security filters to element browsing If this option is selected, security filters are applied to attribute element browsing. For example, a user has a security filter defined as Category=Electronics. If this option is selected, when the user browses the Product hierarchy, the user can see only the Electronics category. If this option is disabled, the user can see all elements when browsing the Product hierarchy. Regardless of whether this option is enabled or disabled, the user can see only elements in the Electronics category when viewing a report. This option is enabled by default.

Attribute Relationship Model This setting allows users to specify whether attributes are implicitly related by virtue of user imported tables or through explicitly defined one-to-many relationships. This setting only works with a data engine version of 2021 or above and is only available for data import Intelligent cubes. More details about this setting can be found in KB485145.

This setting has two options to choose from:

Attributes are related through imported tables This is default option, which is also the current behavior prior to introducing this feature in MicroStrategy 2021 Update 3. This option retains backward compatibility and does not affect any existing or newly created data import Intelligent cubes (also known as Super Cubes) by default.
- Attributes are implicitly related to each other through user imported tables.
- To enable indirect filtering or aggregation, other user imported tables are automatically involved.
- Joins on unrelated attributes.

Attributes are related through 1:M relationships only This option only takes effect with a data engine version of 2021 or above.
- Attributes are explicitly related to each other by a set of one-to-many relationships.
- Unrelated filtering or aggregation is automatically rejected.
- Joins only occur on related attributes.

Basic statistics User session and project session analysis. This option must be selected for any statistics to be logged. The setting itself and all of its child settings are disabled by default. This setting and the following settings will not take effect if the Statistics database instance is not configured for the project.

The maximum value is 999,999 and the minimum value is 0. A value of 0 or -1 indicates infinite time. The default value is 3600.

Memory consumption during SQL generation (MB) Limits the memory consumption during SQL generation. This setting can be useful if you have jobs that may be extremely large, for example, when several highly complex custom groups exist on a report. When you use this setting, if the job is too big, the job is prevented from executing rather than the server becoming unavailable. Set the limit according to the expected number of SQL queries generated to avoid memory-related errors. The maximum value is 999,999,999 and the minimum value is 0. A value of 0 or -1 indicates no limit. The default value is -1.

When you use this setting, if a data source is too large, the data is not imported. The maximum value is 999,999,999 and the minimum value is 0. A value of 0 or -1 indicates no limit. The default value is 12048.

Memory swap multiplier This setting controls how much memory is swapped to disk, relative to the size of the cache being swapped into memory. For example, if the RAM swap multiplier setting is 2 and the requested cache is 80 Kilobytes, 160 Kilobytes are swapped from memory to disk. Increasing this setting can increase caching efficiency in cases where the cache memory is full and several concurrent reports are trying to swap from disk. The maximum value is 99 and the minimum value is 1. The default value is 2.

Message displayed when the report execution has no data returned Define the message that displays when a report or a Grid/Graph on a document does not return any data (also referred to as an empty report or Grid/Graph). The message can be displayed in Developer and in all modes of MicroStrategy Web, for both reports and documents. For Grid/Graphs in documents, whether this message is displayed depends on the Display message in document grids and Hide document grid options, described below.

For reports: If no text is entered in the setting field, empty reports display the default message (The report returns no data) in the localized language. If text has been entered in the setting field, empty reports display that text.

You can format this message using HTML tags. The formatted message is displayed in all Web modes except Flash Mode. To change the background color, put the message into a table and set the table’s background color.

Metadata language preference for all users in this project Select the metadata language to be used in this project. This option is set to Default by default. You must restart Intelligence Server for these changes to take effect.

Notify error messages for No data returned failure Enable/disable this setting to choose whether to Deliver or Do not deliver the subscription if the report or document execution returns no data. This option is disabled by default.

Notify error messages for Partial results failure Enable/disable this setting to choose whether to Deliver or Do not deliver the subscription if the report or document execution returns only some of the data. Partial results are delivered when the size of the report or document exceeds the memory governing setting for Maximum memory consumption for PDF files and Excel files. This option is disabled by default.

Re-run file, email, print, or ftp subscriptions against the warehouse Select this option to create caches or update existing caches when a report or document is executed and that report/document is subscribed to a file, email, or print device. This option is disabled by default.

Re-run history list and mobile subscriptions against the warehouse Select this option to create caches or update existing caches when a report or document is executed and that report/document is subscribed to the History List folder or a mobile device. This option is disabled by default.

Rules to merge multiple Security Filters across user groups and users The Security Filter Merge Options allow you to configure how Intelligence Server applies multiple security filters to a user or group. You have the following options. The OR option is selected by default.

Union (OR) Security Filters on related attributes, intersect (AND) Security Filters on unrelated attributes By default, MicroStrategy merges related security filters with OR and unrelated security filters with AND. That is, if two security filters are related, the user can see all data available from either security filter. However, if the security filters are not related, the user can see only the data available in both security filters. Two security filters are considered related if the attributes that they derive from belong in the same hierarchy, such as Country and Region, or Year and Month.
Intersect (AND) all Security Filters You can also configure Intelligence Server to always merge security filters with an AND, regardless of whether they are related. This setting may cause problems if a user is included in two mutually exclusive security filters. For example, a user who is a member of both the Northeast and Southeast regions cannot see any data from the Geography hierarchy.

Rules to order multi-source Database Instances Determines the order in which data sources are used to provide data as part of MultiSource Option, when the same data can be retrieved from multiple data sources. A license for MultiSource Option is required to use this database instance ordering as part of connecting multiple data sources to a project. You have the following options to determine the order in which data sources are selected for the project:

Use MultiSource Option default ordering (default) If data is available in multiple data sources through MultiSource Option, the primary database instance is used if it has the necessary data. If the data is only available in other secondary data sources, one of the secondary data sources that includes the data is used to retrieve the necessary data using some basic internal logic. Any data source priority you defined using Database Instance Ordering is ignored. By selecting this option, this MultiSource Option default ordering is used for all reports in a project by default. You can enable or disable the use of this ordering for individual reports.
Use project level database instance ordering If data is available in multiple data sources through MultiSource Option, the data source used to retrieve the data is based off of the priority that you defined using Database Instance Ordering. If data is only available in a data source that is not included in the priority list, then an applicable data source is chosen using the standard MultiSource Option logic. By selecting this option, the data source priority list you defined for the project is used for all reports in a project by default. You can enable or disable the use of this ordering for individual reports.

Save Report Services document dataset messages to History List If this option is selected, when a Report Services document is executed, one History List message is created for the document itself, plus one History List message for each dataset report included in the document. The History List messages for the dataset reports are only accessible in Developer. If this option is disabled, only the History List message for the document is created. This option is enabled by default.

Save exported results for interactive executions sent to History List If this option is selected, messages are sent to the History List for documents that are exported to other formats, such as Excel or PDF. This option is disabled by default.

Show delivery address for subscription results for Administrator Starting in MicroStrategy ONE (2024), when this setting is enabled, the admin can view the plain email address, while the subscription owner cannot. The delivery address is hidden by default for security purposes.

Show delivery address for subscription results for Owner Starting in MicroStrategy ONE (September 2024), when both Show delivery address for subscription results for Administrator and Show delivery address for subscription results for Owner settings are enabled, both the subscription owner and the admin can view the plain email address.

Smart Memory Usage for Intelligence Server Controls usage of the Memory Mapped File Buffer for In-memory cubes. The available options are Apply best strategy to maximize performance with given resources, Turn-off the capability without exceptions, Disable the capability, and Enable the capability. This setting can be overwritten at the report and document level unless the Turn-off the capability without exceptions option is selected.

Sort drilling options in ascending alphabetical order When this is enabled, all drilling options are automatically sorted alphabetically in the display when a user right-clicks on a drillable object. Sorting occurs within a hierarchy and between hierarchies, in ascending alphabetical order. This option is disabled by default.

Specify the web server that will be used in link to history list for email subscriptions and notification of history list subscriptions Specify which web server to use in the link to History List messages in email subscriptions and notifications. This field is blank by default.

Statistics purge timeout (sec) The number of seconds to wait for the purge process to finish. If the process does not respond by the end of this time, a timeout for the process occurs, and the system does not continue to take up system resources trying to start the process. The maximum value is 99,999 and the minimum value is 0. A value of -1 indicates no limit. The default is 10 seconds.

Value displayed for missing objects in the reports or documents Type the value to be displayed when an object on a report or document references an object that is not available. For example, a document may use a metric that is not included in a dataset report. Or an MDX report may use an attribute that is no longer mapped to an MDX cube. The types of objects that may encounter this problem include MDX reports, Freeform SQL reports, views within a working set report, and documents. This field is blank by default.

Value displayed in the reports when the metric value cannot be calculated at the desired level This field is set to -- (two hyphens) by default.

Value displayed in the reports when there is an empty value in the data as a result of the cross tabulation process This field is blank by default.

Value displayed in the reports when there is an empty value in the data retrieved from the warehouse This field is blank by default.

Value used to replace empty values when the report data is sorted Enter a value or disable the setting. If the setting is disabled, empty values are sorted to the bottom of the data. The maximum value is 999,999,999 and the minimum value is -99,999,999; or you can choose Disabled. This setting is disabled by default.

Wait time for prompt answers Specify the maximum time to wait for a prompt to be answered by the user in seconds. If the user fails to answer the prompt in the specified time limit, the job is cancelled. The maximum value is 99,999 and the minimum value is 0. A value of -1 indicates no limit. The default value is 600.
