Display a group horizontally in MSTR document

By default, groups are displayed vertically in a document. This means that the detail sections are displayed below the Group Header. For example, a document is grouped by Year. The Detail section includes revenue and profit information by region. Displaying the group vertically yields the following document:

For certain documents, displaying and printing the group horizontally is desired. When displayed horizontally, the detail sections are displayed next to the Group Header, running horizontally across the page.

The example given above, if displayed horizontally, shows a row containing the year, and then, for each region, the Region, Revenue, and Profit. When the document is viewed as a PDF, it displays as shown below:

When being designed, the document with horizontal display looks like the following in MicroStrategy Developer:

The sections within the group are turned sideways and listed horizontally, across the page. These horizontally rendered sections are the Group Header and Footer (in this case, Year), the Detail Header, the Detail, and the Detail Footer. They are displayed in the same order as when shown vertically. The Page and Document sections are still listed vertically.

You can also change the orientation of only the lower level detail sections. In the following sample, the Detail Header, Detail, and Detail Footer are displayed horizontally while the Group Header and Group Footer are displayed vertically:

You can also display the Detail Header and Detail Footer vertically while keeping the Detail section horizontal. A document does not have to be grouped to allow these sections to be displayed horizontally. For information on displaying sections horizontally without groups
