Enabling transition animations for Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in Flash Mode (Web)

You may notice that when controls such as Grid/Graphs and panel stacks are first displayed in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web, they fade in as they are being displayed. These visual animations are transitions that you can enable in Grid/Graphs and panel stacks. For example, you can specify whether a transition animation takes place when a user chooses an item in a selector that affects a Grid/Graph. The affected Grid/Graph can fade slowly onto the screen once a user selects an item from a selector in the document.

You can select the type of transition to use and also the speed of the transition. Examples of the types of transitions include Blur, Fade, and Wipe Down. The speed can be:

  • Very slow

  • Slow

  • Medium

  • Fast

  • Very fast

You can also set the speed to automatic; the speed is then determined by the type of transition.

To enable a transition animation for Flash Mode (Web)

  1. Open the document. (How?)

  2. Select the Grid/Graph or panel stack to update.

  3. In the Property List: Flash section, select a type of transition animation from the Transition drop-down list. This is the animation that is used when users switch to Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web.

    If the Property List pane is not displayed, click Property List at the bottom of the panel on the left. If the panel is not displayed at all, select Property List from the View menu.

  4. Select the speed from the Transition speed drop-down list. This determines how quickly the transition animation takes. If you select Automatic, the speed is determined by the type of transition.

    You can also use the Property List to enable a transition animation.

To view the transition animation, you must open the document in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web.
