MicroStrategy ONE
Formatting Bubble Grid widgets
By default, a Bubble Grid widget automatically inherits some of the formatting contained in the underlying graph report. For example, the font colors and types defined for the graph report can be displayed in the widget. If you do not want the widget to inherit this formatting, clear the Inherit graph formatting check box in the Bubble Grid dialog box in Flash Mode or Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web.
A widget also has additional formatting specific to the type of widget. For a Bubble Grid widget, you can change the number format of the metric values. For example, you can format numbers to appear as dollars and cents, as percentages, or even as scientific notation. This formatting is done in Design View (MicroStrategy Developer) and in Design Mode and Editable Mode (MicroStrategy Web). For instructions, see Changing the number format of the metric values.
In Flash Mode or Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web, you can change:
-
The color used for the bubbles representing the smallest metric values
-
The color used for the bubbles representing the largest metric values
-
The background and border colors
-
The color and font for the labels text
-
Whether the widget legend is displayed or hidden
-
The maximum radius of the bubbles
The widget can be displayed as an interactive widget (not as a placeholder, empty space, or a Grid/Graph) in Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web, which allows a preview of how these changes will affect the widget. These changes cannot be saved, however. For instructions for displaying the widget in various modes, see Determining how widgets are displayed.
