Formatting Funnel widgets

By default, a Funnel 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 Funnel dialog box in Flash Mode or Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web.

A widget also has additional formatting specific to the type of widget. The following table lists the formatting options that are available for a Funnel widget in Design View in MicroStrategy Developer and in Design Mode and Editable Mode in MicroStrategy Web. For detailed instructions to format a funnel graph, and therefore a Funnel widget, in MicroStrategy Developer, see Graph Options for a Funnel graph.

Before formatting a Funnel widget in MicroStrategy Developer, complete the following instructions:

Set the View mode to Graph.
Edit the Grid/Graph that contains the widget by double-clicking it. A red hashed border displays around it, indicating that the Grid/Graph is in edit mode.
To exit edit mode, press ESC.

In Flash Mode and Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web, you can specify:

Whether to show or hide the series labels
Whether to display the labels outside or inside the funnel
Whether to show or hide the series values
Whether the series values are displayed inside or outside the funnel
Whether the legend area can be resized
The minimum height for the funnel layer

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.
