MicroStrategy ONE

Altering the Report Title Text Displayed on the Report Execution Page

By default, when you execute a report in MicroStrategy Web, the navigational path information displayed under the toolbar on the Report Execution page includes the title of the report as the last piece of information in the path.

In this customization scenario, you modify the presentation of the report title for an executed report so that the report type— grid, graph, or grid and graph— is displayed in parentheses after the report title in the navigational path.
