MicroStrategy ONE
Hiding and displaying document sections
By default, all document sections are displayed to all users, in all views in MicroStrategy Developer and in all modes in MicroStrategy Web. However, if a section is empty (that is, it does not contain any controls), that section is not displayed to users.
If a document was created based on a template, that template also affects which sections are displayed. For example, the Blank Dashboard template displays only one section, the Detail Header, allowing you to easily design a Report Services (RS) dashboard using the whole screen.
You can hide or display sections of a document for several purposes:
-
You can collapse document sections as you edit or design a document, making the design process easier by maximizing the amount of space available to work in. For more information, see Collapsing or expanding document sections as you design.
-
You can determine whether end users open a document with certain sections hidden or displayed. For example, a Page Footer section contains page numbers, which makes sense in a printed document but not in one displayed in MicroStrategy Web. In this case, you can hide the Page Footer in all MicroStrategy Web modes but display it in PDF view. (The section is still displayed in Design view in both MicroStrategy Developer and MicroStrategy Web.) For instructions, plus additional scenarios, see Hiding or displaying document sections for a finished document.
If the document contains multiple layouts, you can hide and display different document sections for different layouts. Each layout is independent of the others in this regard. For more information on multi-layout documents, including which properties apply to the document as a whole or to individual layouts, see Creating multi-layout documents.
