Strategy ONE

Browse the Folder Structure in Library

Starting in Strategy One (July 2025), the Content Discovery component is renamed Browse Folders, providing a more intuitive and descriptive name.

Starting in the MicroStrategy ONE Update 12, you can rename, copy, move, and delete folder content. You can also create new folders and shortcuts to organize folder contents.

Starting in the MicroStrategy ONE Update 11, the ability to browse folder structure in Library is shipped out-of-the-box. MicroStrategy ONE Update 11 also adds support for Library Mobile and the ability to add content to your library from Content Discovery.

Starting in MicroStrategy ONE Update 10, administrators can enable the Content Discovery tab in Library. This preview feature allows users to browse folders and access content. For steps, see Create an Application.

Troubleshooting

Why am I missing options to create folders, create shortcuts, or rename, copy, move, and delete objects?

Ensure that users have the required privileges and Access Control Lists (ACLs) for managing objects.

The required privileges for various actions are listed below.

  • Create folders

    Create a new folder

  • Create shortcuts

    Create shortcut to objects

  • Rename objects

    Web manage objects

    Create application objects

  • Copy objects

    Web manage objects

    Create application objects

    Web save to My Reports (If the destination is in the My Reports folder)

    Web save to Shared Reports (If the destination is in the Shared Reports folder)

  • Move objects

    Web manage objects

    Create application objects

    Web save to My Reports (if the destination is in the My Reports folder)

    Web save to Shared Reports (if the destination is in the Shared Reports folder)

  • Delete objects

    Web manage objects

The required ACLs for various actions are shown below.

  • Create folders

    Read and write access for the parent folder

  • Create shortcuts

    Read and write access for the folder

  • Rename objects

    Read and write access for the object

  • Copy objects

    Read and write access for the object

    Read and write access for the destination folder

  • Move objects

    Read and write access for the object

    Read and write access for the source folder

    Read and write access for the destination folder

  • Delete objects

Why is there an error when moving an object?

Ensure there is no object with the same name in the location where the object is being moved to.

Why can’t more than 100 objects be selected?

Actions such as move, copy, and delete can only be applied to 100 objects at a time.
