    A WebFeature is a generic term for a variety of preferences, privileges, settings, etc. Web features can be used to control the availability of functionality in MicroStrategy Web applications. Some general examples of Web Features include:
    • the current context of the application.
      Specific example:
      • Whether the browser supports HTML or not
      • Whether a certain preference is on or off
    • the current functionality available to the user
      Specific example:
      • Whether the user can access the history list, based on the user's privileges
      • Whether the user can view a particular report, based on the user's privileges
    • a specific setting for a specific object operation
      Specific example:
      • Whether a report is in outline mode
      • Whether grid headers are locked on a report
      • Whether the user can view a particular report, based on the user's privileges

    The purpose of Web Features is to allow you to create conditional functionality, by basing the availability of functionality on whether a specific feature (or set of features) is true or false. In all cases, a Web Feature is either true or false.

    Some examples of conditional functionality that can be associated with a Web Feature include:
    • whether a shortcut is displayed on a toolbar, is active, or is selected by default
    • whether a menu entry is displayed, is active, or is selected by default (checked)
    • whether a system-picker is displayed, is active, or is selected by default (checked)
    • whether a shortcut is part of a page template
    • whether a user has access to a page
    • whether a bean is instantiated in a request
    • whether a Web component is refreshed after an iFrame request
    • whether a property is assigned to a bean
    • whether a certain block of javascript is used in a page
    • what content is included in a JSP or ASP.NET file
    • what content is included in an XML layout file

    This enumeration list all those Web Features available in the out of the box product.
