Distributing Reports to a User Community

MicroStrategy makes distributing reports to a wide range of users easier. You can use object templates to design high-level reports that can be customized for the end-user, or include features like prompts, drill maps, and derived metric creation to empower users to find answers to their business questions independently. Designing flexible reports also reduces the need to create new reports for every business question.

This section includes the following information:

• Object templates and shortcuts to filters and templates allow you to re-use common components of an attribute, report, or other object. For guidelines on re-using and maintaining objects, and steps to create object templates and shortcuts, see Re-Using Objects Via Shortcuts and Object Templates
• After you have created your reports, you can make the reports accessible to users. For steps, see Making Reports Accessible.
• You can control which reports are cached. For steps and background information on report caches, see Caching.
