Formatting Media widgets

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

• The tooltip text, which displays when a user hovers the cursor over the widget. This text can be used to identify the media in the widget.

• The background color.

• Whether to show the content as a pop-up. You can determine whether the content is displayed inline or in a new window, and you can also specify the text of the button that is displayed in the widget.

• Whether to display the Play button in the widget. If the Play button is not displayed, the media cannot be controlled by the user.

• Whether to begin playing the feed data automatically or when the Play button is clicked.

• Whether to play the feed data once or loop it continuously.

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.
