View and Edit Advanced Settings

You can view and edit advanced settings for dashboards, documents, and reports based on an OLAP cube that you have permission to access through a connected environment. Advanced settings affect how MicroStrategy Intelligence Server manages joins, metric calculations, query optimizations, etc.

Modifying any advanced setting should be performed with caution only after understanding the effects of the settings you want to apply. A given advanced setting can support or optimize one system setup, but the same setting can cause performance issues or errors for other systems. Your ability to edit advanced settings depends on your own permissions. You may not have all of the options listed below.
