Disabling simultaneous display of all elements on a document

Page-by interactively displays groups on separate pages in PDF View. It allows a user to dynamically select elements of a grouping field as criteria for analysis.

By default, all elements of the group are displayed simultaneously, but you can disable the simultaneous display, which is useful for grouping fields that have many elements. Also, disabling simultaneous display can allow incremental fetch on Grid/Graphs to work correctly, when the incrementally-fetched Grid/Graph is in a repeating document section. For details of this scenario, see Improving document performance in MicroStrategy Web: Incremental fetch on Grid/Graphs.

Prerequisite

This procedure assumes that the document contains at least one grouping field. For instructions on adding grouping fields, see Grouping records in a document.

To disable simultaneous display of all elements

1. Open a document in the Document Editor. (How?)

2. If the Grouping panel is not displayed, select Grouping from the View menu. The Grouping panel opens above the Layout area.

3. In the Grouping panel, right-click the grouping field on which to disable page-by. Select Grouping Properties. The Grouping Properties dialog box for that grouping field opens.

4. Select Page-By (Single Element Only) from the Page-By mode drop-down list.

5. Click OK to return to the Document Editor.

When the document is executed in PDF View, you cannot select the All option, to show all the elements for this group simultaneously.
