Grouping data by page: Adding objects to the page-by field in a report

Page-by is the MicroStrategy functionality that lets you turn a long report into a set of individual pages. The pages are created based on the objects on the report, allowing users to see manageable subsets of otherwise large quantities of data.

Users can place report objects in the page-by pane of a report, if they wish. However, the report's designer can also place report objects into the page-by pane of a report. When a user executes the report, the user is presented with a subset of what would otherwise be a long list of data.

For images of the page-by feature, see Grouping data by page.

To add objects to the page-by field in a report

In MicroStrategy Web, open the report in Design Mode.
Select the object to include in the page-by pane from either the All Objects pane on the left or from the report's template. Drag and drop the object onto the page-by pane.

You can place more than one object in the page-by pane. If you decide to place multiple related attributes in the page-by pane, be aware that order matters. Whatever you page-by first (furthest to the left) affects the elements displayed in the other page-by fields. Place multiple objects into the page-by pane in logical order, from left to right.

For a list of objects that can be used as pages, see Grouping data by page.

Save the report.
