MicroStrategy ONE

Removing a Toolbar Item

Toolbars display buttons for actions such as saving, printing, and exporting a report. Depending on your user privileges, some or all of the buttons might not be available. Each of these toolbar buttons is defined as an individual shortcut in MicroStrategy Web products.

In this customization scenario, you remove the icon for showing the pivot buttons from the Report Execution page. The steps are similar for any MicroStrategy Web page that has toolbars.

Since you are removing the pivot buttons from the toolbar, you also need to remove the Pivot Buttons option from the Tools menu. For detailed steps on removing an item from the report's menu, see Removing a Menu Item.
