MicroStrategy ONE
Adding objects to Grid/Graphs
If you create an empty Grid/Graph in a document, you need to populate it with objects. These objects are the attributes, consolidations, custom groups, hierarchies, and metrics in a dataset report. You can add objects easily if the Grid/Graph is displayed as a grid and is in edit mode.
Attribute forms
You can select which attribute forms to add to the Grid/Graph.
-
If you use an attribute form that is later removed from the original report, that attribute form is no longer displayed on the Grid/Graph in the document.
-
If all the attribute forms used on the Grid/Graph are removed from the original report, the Grid/Graph displays the attribute ID.
-
If the attribute itself is removed from the original report, it is also removed from the Grid/Graph.
Grid/Graphs and dataset reports
You can add additional objects to a Grid/Graph that already contains objects. However, a Grid/Graph can contain objects from only one dataset report; you cannot combine objects from different dataset reports in the same Grid/Graph.
To change the dataset report with which a Grid/Graph is associated, use the Data source property in the Data area of the Property List.
Prerequisite
This procedure assumes that you have added a Grid/Graph to the document. For instructions on adding Grid/Graphs, see Displaying reports in documents: Grid/Graphs.
To add objects to a Grid/Graph
-
Open a document in the Document Editor. How?
-
Double-click the Grid/Graph to enter edit mode. A red hashed border displays around the Grid/Graph, and the menu options and toolbar change.
If the Edit icon is displayed in the upper left corner of the Grid/Graph, you can click the icon to enter edit mode.
-
Drag dataset objects from the Datasets pane onto the Grid/Graph and drop them as desired.
-
You cannot combine objects from different dataset reports in the same Grid/Graph.
-
If the object creates a text field on top of the Grid/Graph, the Grid/Graph is not in edit mode. Undo the addition by pressing CTRL+Z, then double-click the Grid/Graph to enable edit mode and try again.
-
-
To exit edit mode, press ESC.
