Using Data Cloud widgets as selectors

The attribute elements displayed in a Data Cloud widget can be defined as a selectors. In MicroStrategy Web, users can interact with the widget to control targeted Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the document.

If you use a Data Cloud widget as a selector, a user can click an attribute element in the widget to display related data in target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks. If an attribute element can be used as a selector, the cursor changes to a hand pointer. For example, if the Region attribute is defined as a selector, the elements Northeast and Southeast can be used as selectors.

To use a widget as a selector, you first choose the target Grid/Graph and/or panel stack in MicroStrategy Developer. You can also do this in Design Mode or Editable Mode in MicroStrategy Web. For details and steps, Viewing data related to widgets: Using widgets as selectors.
