MicroStrategy ONE

Loading and Applying Default Values

The Load Default Values option works differently on the Project defaults and the User preferences pages:

  • When the administrator who is setting the Project defaults clicks Load Default Values, the original values shipped with the MicroStrategy Web products are loaded on the page.
  • When users who are setting User preferences click Load Default Values, the project default values that the administrator set on the Project defaults pages are loaded.

The settings are not saved until you click Apply. If you select Apply to all projects on the current Intelligence Server (server name) from the drop-down menu, the settings are applied to all projects, not just the one you are currently configuring.

Setting User Preferences and Project Defaults

Users can change the individual settings for their user preference options by accessing them via the Preferences link at the top of the Web page. However, you can set what default values the users see for these options. To do this, click the Preferences link, then click the Project defaults link on the left-hand side of the page (under the "Preferences Level" heading).

You can then set the defaults for several categories, including the following:

  • General
  • Folder Browsing
  • Grid display
  • Graph display
  • History List
  • Export Reports
  • Print Reports (PDF)
  • Drill mode
  • Prompts
  • Report Services
  • Security (see note below for Web)
  • Project display (see note below for Web)
  • Office
  • Color Palette
  • Email Addresses
  • File Locations
  • Printer Locations
  • FTP Locations
  • Dynamic Adress Lists

Some of the following categories are displayed only in certain circumstances. For example, the Report Services link appears only if you have a license to use Report Services.

Each category has its own page and includes related settings that are accessible only to users with the Web Administration privilege. For details on each setting, see the MicroStrategy Web Help for the Web Administrator.
