MicroStrategy ONE

Formatting Weighted List Viewer widgets

By default, a Weighted List Viewer widget automatically inherits some of the formatting contained in the underlying graph report. For example, the font colors and types contained in 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 Properties 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 Weighted List Viewer 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. For instructions, see Changing the number format of the metric values. This number formatting is done in Design View (MicroStrategy Developer) and in Design Mode and Editable Mode (MicroStrategy Web).

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

  • Determine whether two or three color bands are displayed.

  • Select the band colors. These bands appear in the stacked bar chart on the left side of the widget and in the grid on the right side. Each color corresponds to good, neutral, or bad performance.

  • Show or hide the lines on the stacked graph.

  • Apply a glass-like effect to the entire widget.

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.
