Display a report in different view modes through URL API in MicroStrategy Web

The URL parameter report view mode in Microstartegy
  • visMode - the mode in which the document is displayed, e.g. 2 for Interactive
  • reportviewmode determines how reports are displayed in the view mode, e. g. 1 for grid mode.
&reportViewMode=1 (grid)
&reportViewMode=2 (graph)
&reportViewMode=3 (grid/graph) 
&visMode=0 (no visualization)
&visMode=51 (AJAX visualization)  <--- this and Flash (50) require that you setup a Custom Visualization in the report definition.&visMode=50 (Flash visualization). Make sure those modes are enabled in Document Properties.

 Other parameters in the URL API
  • Webserver - name or IP address of the webserver 
  • Evt - event/action to be performed, e.g. 2048001 for running a document 
  • Src - web page component to perform the event 
  • documentID - document object ID to be executed 
The parameter to pass an answer to an element list prompt: 
  • elementsPromptAnswers=AttrID;AttrID:ElemID^ElemName 
  • AttrID - object ID of the prompted attribute 
  • ElemID - element ID of the attribute element used as prompt answer 
  • ElemName - description of the attribute element used as prompt answer

The URL parameter reportviewmode determines how reports are displayed in the view mode through the URL API in MicroStrategy Web 10.x. The following examples illustrate the URL parameter reportviewmode and the corresponding view of the report that will display:

When reportviewmode is set to 1, the report is displayed in grid mode:

When reportviewmode is set to 2, the report is displayed in graph mode:

When reportviewmode is set to 3, the report is displayed in grid/graph mode:
In MicroStrategy Web URL API, there is a parameter Vismode when running a report or a Report Services document. This parameter stands for the visualization type it uses. 
50 stands for flash type visualization which includes the following visualizations:
  • Image Sample
  • Sparkline on Image
  • Product Revenue Analysis
  • Sales Dashboard
  • Media Visualization
  • TV Visualization
  • Simple Dashboard
  • Custom Product Analysis Scorecard
  • Auto Play with Line Series
  • Custom Color Coded Grid

  • Multi Control Visualization
  • Link Sample
  • WhatIf Control
  • Fish Eye Selector
  • Funnel
  • Gauge
  • Bubble Grid
  • Interactive Bubble
  • Data Cloud
  • Graph Matrix

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers Your new utility company has call centers located throughout the country, and your recent surveys indicate that customers who live in the same city as a call center are particularly satisfied with service due to extremely rapid repairs during power outages.

The following steps create an attribute-to-attribute qualification filter that generates the list of desired cities. To Create an Attribute-To-Attribute Qualification that Compares the Call Center and Customer City Attributes In MicroStrategy Web, log in to a project. Open any folder page (for example, click Shared Folders on the home page). Click the  Create Filter  icon  .

Administration standards to optimize network data transfer speeds

Optimization standards to help developers work with the System Administrator to optimize network data transfer speeds: Place all server components in the same segment to minimize latency between the Intelligence Server, Web server, data warehouse server, and metadata server Expand bandwidth and minimize latency between servers and clients to ensure that bottlenecks do not occur when data is requested over your network Use HTTP compression between the Web servers and Web clients to achieve maximum throughput between these components Configure a Web proxy server to handle caching and reduce the load on the Web server

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services on Web Subscription to a report or Report Services document which will be executed when a certain conditional threshold is met based on another executing report. For example, a scheduled report executes which shows the Revenue by day for the past week. If the Revenue on any one day falls below a certain value, a subscription to another report or Report Services document can be triggered and delivered to a recipient. An alert based subscription can only be created directly on a report; however, another report or Report Services document can be delivered when the alert based subscription is triggered. Note: you need a grid report to create an alert and you cannot create if you want to create on a document with text boxes. The following example will walk through the basic steps on how to setup a subscription based on an alert like this: Follow the brief  steps bel...

Non Aggregate metrics Beginning lookup, Ending lookup, Beginning fact., Ending fact

Non Aggregate metrics  Beginning lookup,  Ending lookup,  Beginning fact .,  Ending fact A nonaggregatable metric, such as an inventory metric, is one that should not be aggregated across an attribute.   For example, if you have monthly inventory numbers in your data warehouse and want to calculate the yearly inventory, adding the monthly numbers together does not provide a useful business measure. Instead, you may want to use the end-on-hand and beginning-on-hand inventory numbers to see how the total inventory changed during the year.  The following options are available: • To use the first value in the lookup table, select  Beginning lookup . • To use the last value in the lookup table, select  Ending lookup . • To use the first value in the fact table, select  Beginning fact . • To use the last value in the fact table, select  Ending fact .

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics You can define how the report filter affects the metric calculation. From the  Relationship with Report Filter  drop-down list, select one of the following: • To include only data that meets the conditions in the report filter in the metric calculation, select  Standard filtering . • To raise the level of the report filter to the level of the target, if possible, then apply the report filter to the metric calculation, select  Absolute filtering . For example, the report filter contains the Washington, DC, Boston, and New York call centers, but the Revenue metric is calculated at the Region level. Because Call Center is a child attribute of Region, the report filter's level is raised to the Region level, and the report filter is treated as if it includes the regions that contain Washington, DC, Boston, and New York (in this case, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast). Data from all call centers in the Mid-At...

"System Prompt" and its uses in MicroStrategy

System Prompt and its uses in MicroStrategy WHAT IS A "SYSTEM PROMPT"? "System Prompt" is a system object that was introduced back in version 8.0.0. The object is named as "User Login" and is implemented as a prompt object. The object can be found under Public Objects > Prompts > System prompts, as shown below: Unlike ordinary prompt objects, system prompts don't require any answers from the user. When a report containing a system prompt runs, the prompt is answered automatically with the login of the user who runs the report. On the other hand, like other prompt objects, answers to system prompts are used to match caches. Therefore, users don't share caches for reports that contain system prompts. For details on how caches are matched, refer to the following MicroStrategy Knowledge Base document: KB5300-7X0-0147 - How are caches matched in MicroStrategy Intelligence Server 7.x? WHEN ARE SYSTEM PROMPTS USED?    System pr...
