MicroStrategy ONE

Applying default formatting and behavior to graph reports project-wide

You can set up default formatting, graph style, and various behaviors such as resizing for graph reports. These defaults are automatically applied to all graph reports and graphs in documents, throughout the project. These defaults can be overridden by any specific formatting or behavior applied to specific graph reports, either during the design process or when an analyst is viewing the report.

To apply similar formatting or behavior to a specific graph report, see Preferences dialog box.

Prerequisites

You must have Developer privileges, or a set of privileges that allow you to access the various object editors in MicroStrategy Developer, to have these settings take effect in reports.
