MicroStrategy ONE
Disabling report details preferences
The report details preferences overwrite some of the report details properties that are configured in the Report Details Properties dialog box in the Project Configuration Editor and the Report Editor. These include whether the following types of report details are displayed:
-
Report description
-
Prompt details
-
Filter details
-
Shortcut filter definition
-
View filters
-
Metric details
For example, you choose prompt details as a report details preference. When you open a prompted report, the name of each prompt and its prompt answers are displayed in the Report Details pane. You cannot remove the prompt details display from that report, unless you remove prompt details as a report details preference. In the report itself, however, you can configure how the prompt details are displayed, such as whether the title of the prompt is displayed.
You can change this behavior by disabling the report details preferences, which allows the report details properties to be used instead. These properties are available at the project and report level. You can also disable report details preferences from a report, when you make changes to the report details for that report. Disabling report details preferences, whether from the Developer Preferences dialog box or within a report, affects all reports.
For more information about the report details properties, what they affect, and disabling report details preferences from a report, see Configuring report details overview.
