Strategy One
Properties and Formatting Dialog Box: Advanced
If you arrived here from Workstation, see the Workstation Document Authoring Help.
This tab is available if the selected control is a grid report, graph report, widget, or panel stack (including filter panels but not including transaction tables).
Selector
A Selector property is available for reports, widgets, and panel stacks (including filter panels). The Selector lists the attributes that target the selected control.
The list of attributes targeting the control is not automatically updated. To update the list, click Apply.
Export
The following properties are available for panel stacks, including filter panels. These properties determine how the panel stack is exported to Excel and PDF.
- Clip contents of panel stack when exporting:
Determines whether to clip the contents displayed in a panel stack
when the document is exported.
- By default, the checkbox is selected. If the contents of a panel stack are bigger than the panel stack itself (for example, a wide Grid/Graph), the object is clipped and not fully displayed when the document is exported, since panel stacks cannot grow in size.
- If you clear the checkbox, the contents of the panel stack are not clipped. If the contents are bigger than the panel stack, the panel stack is essentially not exported, allowing the contents to be fully displayed.
If the Clip contents checkbox is cleared, the remaining Export properties are unavailable.
- Expand panels: Determines whether
all panels are exported (expanded) or only the current panel is exported.
The options are:
- None: Only the current panel is exported (that is, the displayed panel).
- Vertical: All panels in the panel stack are exported. They are displayed vertically, from top to bottom.
- Horizontal: All panels in the panel stack are exported. They are displayed horizontally, from left to right.
- Spacing: Type the amount of spacing, in inches, between the panels. This setting is available when Expand panels is set to Vertical or Horizontal.
- Allow panels to split across pages: Determines whether an individual panel can display across multiple pages or must display on a single page. Applies to vertically expanded panels.
Transition (Flash Only)
These properties are available for grid reports, graph reports, widgets, and panel stacks, including filter panels. The Transition properties determine whether a transition animation is used to display the object when you open a document for the first time in Flash Mode. The animation also takes place when you or another user chooses an item in a selector that affects an object such as a report. For example, a report can fade slowly onto the screen.
Flash Mode is available only if your document was created before MicroStrategy 10.1 and was defined to display in Flash Mode. Beginning with 10.1, Presentation Mode replaces Flash Mode.
- Selected Transition: Select a type of transition animation for the object. This is the type of transition animation that will be used for the object when the document is opened.
- Speed: Determine how quickly the transition animation takes place for the object. For example, you can determine how quickly the animation for a panel stack takes place once you open the document. From the drop-down list, select a speed for the transition animation.
