Where are my Visual Insights dashboards in Microstrategy 11?

Visual Insights dashboards in Microstrategy 11?



Dossiers are essentially the next generation of VI dashboards. Once you upgrade your existing environment to the latest version, all of your VI dashboards will be converted to Dossiers. Dossiers have additionally functionality and enhancements (collaboration, responsive design, enhanced user experience, filtering, etc.) Once you have Library installed, you can then push out these Dossiers to your users Library via Workstation, MSTR Web, email, link shares, or your users can add Dossiers to their Library on their own.

With the release of MicroStrategy 10.9, we’ve taken a leap forward in our dashboarding capabilities by simplifying the user experience, adding storytelling, and collaboration.MSTR has  evolved dashboards to the point that they are more than dashboards - they are interactive, collaborative analytic stories. Ultimately, it was time to go beyond dashboards, both in concept and in name, and so the've renamed VI dashboards to dossiers’. 
 
Dossiers are organized in pages and chapters, that make it easy to navigate and share the reports and visualizations you're familiar with. And with live collaboration, commenting, and notifications, your team can stay in sync and be ready to take informed action when it counts.

Key features of the dossiers, that available for both web and mobile users are: 

 

  • A more modern interface with intuitive menu options for both analysts and consumers
  • Powerful filtering options, with new visual filters
  • Proactive alerts and push notifications for both web and mobile users
  • Collaborative discussion threads for real-time and contextual idea exchange
 
With this release, MicroStrategy modernizes the interface by focusing on making the product easier-to-use and more intuitive. Organizations can now deploy MicroStrategy to a wider set of users across the enterprise, and get it into the hands of everyone – regardless of skillset, and for the first time, delivers the means to accelerate the adoption of analytics across the enterprise at a much faster rate.

Microstrategy document/dashboard applying selections as filters or slices

Applying selections as filters or slices In a Microstrategy Document the selections a user makes in a selector can either filter or slice the data in the target: Filtering means that the data for the current selection is calculated only when it is requested by the user. The selections are used to filter the underlying dataset before the metric values are aggregated at the level of the Grid/Graph that is displayed in the document. If the source attribute is not included in the Grid/Graph, the metric values from all the selected elements are aggregated and shown at the level specified in the Grid/Graph. All metric condition selectors (which filter metric values or ranks) and selectors that target other selectors filter data by default. You cannot change them to slicing selectors. Slicing means that the data for each available item in the selector is calculated in advance when the document is first displayed. Selections made while ...

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in  Microstrategy Nested prompts allows you to create one prompt based on the other and other bases on another, nested prompts allows us to prompt the highest level(Like year) to middle level(like Quarter, then to the low level(like Month). Here you can see how to  create a 3-level deep nested prompt that will prompt the user to select a year, then a quarter within that year, then a month within that quarter. Prompt-in-prompt is a feature in which the answer to one prompt is used to define another prompt. This feature is only implemented for element list prompts . The following procedure describes how to achieve this: Create the highest level filter. This is a filter which contains a prompt on an attribute element list. Create a filter on the attribute "Year." Click "prompt on attribute element list" and click "Next" through the rest of the screens to accept the default values. Do not set any additio...

Case functions Microstrategy

Ca se functions Microstrategy Case functions return specified data in a SQL query based on the evaluation of user-defined conditions. In general, a user specifies a list of conditions and corresponding return values. Case This function evaluates multiple expressions until a condition is determined to be true, then returns a corresponding value. If all conditions are false, a default value is returned.  Case  can be used for categorizing data based on multiple conditions. This is a single-value function. Syntax Case ( Condition1 ,  ReturnValue1 ,  Condition2 , ReturnValue2 ,...,  DefaultValue ) Example Case(([Total Revenue] < 300000), 0, ([Total Revenue] < 600000), 1, 2) sum(Case (Day@DESC in (“Sat”,”Sun”), Sales, 0) {~+} Sum(Case(Category@DESC In("Books","Electronics"),Revenue,0)){~+} CaseV (case vector) CaseV  evaluates a single metric and returns different values according to the results.
