Enabling the MicroStrategy Developer Homepage

The MicroStrategy Developer homepage is the first window displayed when you log in to a MicroStrategy project in the MicroStrategy Developer environment. It serves as the primary point of access to the editors, dialogs, and wizards that enable the use of MicroStrategy Developer interface functionality.

When you select a project in MicroStrategy Developer, you see the HTML homepage. This homepage can display links to the reports, folders, documents, description of the project, and so on. To see an HTML page as shown in step 6 of the following procedure, log in to MicroStrategy Tutorial as User.

The MicroStrategy Developer homepage is displayed when you select the project within a project source. The objects within the project are always displayed as folders.

You can choose to display the project homepage or the Folder List. The procedure below describes how to enable and select a project homepage.

To Enable and Select a Project Homepage

  1. Log in to the MicroStrategy project source containing the project to enable a project homepage for.
  2. Choose Tools > My Preferences.
  3. Select the Enable project home page functionality check box.
  4. Browse for and locate the HTML file for the project homepage in the HTML file path box or use the default homepage location displayed in this box.

    If you have created your own customized HTML page to use in the project, locate the file using Browse button. Otherwise, the project uses the default homepage designed by MicroStrategy.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Select the project within the project source. A project homepage is displayed.

  2. In the dialog box, select the Enable project home page functionality option.
