MicroStrategy ONE

Displaying forms in a group

When a user views a grouped document, drop-down lists are displayed to allow the user to select which elements, or subsets of data, to display. You can select which attribute forms are displayed in the list, and the order of the forms.

For example, a document is grouped by employee. By default, the employee's last name and first name are displayed, separated by a colon. You can re-arrange the attribute forms, to have the first name displayed before the last name.  You can display only the ID, or display the ID and then the last name.

To display forms in a group

  1. In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in Design or Editable Mode.

  2. If the document contains multiple layouts, click the tab of the layout to group.

  3. If the document is not already grouped, add a group, as described below:

    1. From the Tools menu, select Grouping. The Grouping panel opens above the Layout area.

    2. Right-click the object in Dataset Objects, and select Add to Grouping. The object is added to the Grouping panel.

  4. In the Grouping panel, right-click the group, point to Attribute Forms, and select Custom. The Attribute Forms dialog box opens.

  5. From the Available list, select the forms to display, and click the Add arrow to move them to the Selected list.

  6. To change the order of the forms, select a form and click the Move down or Move up arrow to position it.

  7. Click OK to return to the document.
