MicroStrategy ONE

Hiding panel selector arrows on the title bar

Before you begin

You should be familiar with the different parts of a panel stack, especially title bars, as described in Defining the parts of a panel stack and Displaying title bars in panel stacks.

The title bar of a panel stack displays Next and Previous arrows to allow users to change panels, as shown below:

The arrow on the left allows a user to display the previous panel in the panel stack. The arrow on the right is grayed out because this is the last panel in the panel stack. The arrows are available in MicroStrategy Web and in Flash View in MicroStrategy Developer.

These arrows are displayed by default, but you can hide them from users by following the steps below. Hiding the arrows also disables changing panels in iPad documents by horizontal swiping. For background information on changing panels in iPad documents, see the MicroStrategy Mobile Analysis Help.

If you hide the arrows or the title bar that they display in, you should create a selector that targets the panel stack and allows users to change panels. For instructions, see Creating selectors for panel stacks.
