MicroStrategy ONE
Configuring how attribute form and set qualifications are displayed
Before you begin
This topic assumes that you are familiar with filters, especially the different types of filters and the components of filters. For background information, see Filters.
The filter details display the report filter and report limit of the report by default, although other types of filters can be displayed. For more information on displaying other types, see Configuring the content of the filter details.
A filter can contain:
-
An attribute form qualification, which is based on attribute forms (such as First Name and Last Name for the Customer attribute)
-
A metric set qualification, which is based on metric value or rank
-
A relationship set qualification, which is based on relationships between attributes
For these types of filters, you can configure how the qualifications are displayed using the following properties:
-
-
Use names or symbols for operators: Determines whether names (such as Equals or Greater Than) or symbols (such as = or >) are displayed.
-
Include attribute form names in qualification conditions: For conditions in attribute qualification filters, determines whether or not to display attribute form names (such as DESC or ID).
An example of displaying the attribute form name:
(Region (DESC) Begins With "North")
An example of hiding the attribute form name:
(Region Begins With "North")
-
Dynamic dates: Determines whether dynamic dates are shown as the date or as the expression that calculates the date.
An example of displaying the date:
Day (ID) = 10/27/2027
An example of displaying the expression that calculates the date:
Day (ID) = Today minus 12 Month(s)
By default, each of these settings inherits the project-level report detail definitions set in the Project Configuration Editor, as described in Levels of report details configuration. You can return to this default by selecting <default> from the drop-down list.
Interaction of report details preferences and filter details
The report details preferences specified in the Developer Preferences dialog box specify which types of report details are displayed. These preferences override some of the report details that are configured in the Report Details Properties dialog box in the Project Configuration Editor and in the Report Editor. The report details preferences specify whether the filter details are displayed.
-
If the report details preferences specify that the filter details are not displayed, you cannot display them using the Report Details Properties dialog box.
-
If the report details preferences specify that the filter details are displayed, you cannot hide them using the Report Details Properties dialog box. You can use the Report Details Properties dialog box to configure how they are displayed, however.
You can change this behavior by disabling the report details preferences, allowing the report details properties to be used instead. You can disable the report details preferences when you save changes to the report details properties (as described in Configuring the content of the filter details) or by using the Developer Preferences dialog box (for instructions, see Disabling report details preferences). For more information about the report details preferences in general, and how to set them, see Enabling and customizing report details preferences.
