Microstrategy Report Services documents and dashboards

Microstrategy Report Services documents vs Dashboards

A MicroStrategy Report Services document displays data coming from multiple reports, with the data laid out and designed in presentation-quality format. Most data on a document is from one or more underlying datasets. A dataset is a standard MicroStrategy report. Other document components that do not originate from the dataset, such as static text used for a title or heading, page numbers, and images, are added by the document's designer and are stored in the document's definition.

A Report Services (RS) dashboard is a special type of document. An RS dashboard is commonly only one page long, is intended to be viewed online, and usually provides interactive features that let analysts change how they view the dashboard’s data, as well as what data they are viewing. A broad selection of widgets and a wide variety of formatting options allow you to design a customized, interactive dashboard.

Both documents and RS dashboards provide the freedom to design a dashboard pixel-by-pixel in multiple editing and previewing modes. The abundant design options deliver full control over position, formatting, and interactivity.

You must have the MicroStrategy Report Services product to view and create documents and RS dashboards.

An example of a Report Services dashboard is shown below:

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use If the i-cubes can potentially be reduced in size an audit can be performed on the cube objects to see which cube objects are not being used by any of the view reports, documents, or dossiers. The below are examples for a few of the common metadata database platforms . NOTE: To perform this audit, queries are run against the MicroStrategy metadata database. Ensure a metadata backup is taken prior to performing the below actions. Steps: 1) Identify the object ID of the Intelligent cube to be audited by checking the objects Property window 2) Identify the object ID of the project this cube exists within by opening the Project Configuration Sample Cube ID = CFAF1E9B4D53990698C42E87C7AF2EB5 Sample Project ID = B7CA92F04B9FAE8D941C3E9B7E0CD754 3) Run the below SQL against the metadata database by replacing the Cube ID and Project ID within the respective ...

Algorithm to calculate Logical Table Size in Microstrategy

How are the fact tables determined using the logical table size for SQL generation in MicroStrategy The logical table size is an integer number that represents the granularity or level of aggregation of a particular table. It is called 'logical' because it is not related to the physical size of the tables (number of rows). It is calculated according to the attribute IDs that are present in the table and their level in the system hierarchy. Even though, the number does not reveal the actual number of rows in the table, it is an accurate way of measuring a table size without having to access its contents. IMPORTANT: The system hierarchy is defined by the parent-child relationships between attributes of the same family (formerly known as a dimension), not by user-defined hierarchies (i.e., drilling hierarchies). MicroStrategy Engine utilizes an algorithm based on attribute keys to calculate the Logical Table Size (LTS): Given the following tables: ...

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP in MSTR

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP server You can have a report or document automatically delivered to a location on your FTP server on a specific schedule. To do so, you must subscribe to the report or document, as described in the steps below. You can customize your subscription by typing macros in the File Name , Sub-folder , or Zip File Name fields. These macros are automatically replaced with the appropriate text when the report or document is delivered. For example, you create a subscription to a document. If you type {&Project} in the File Name field, the name of the project in which the document is saved is displayed in the name of the document when it is delivered. • This procedure assumes that an administrator has already added your FTP server as a new device in Developer. Steps to do so are included in the System Administrator Help . To send a report or document to an FTP server on a schedule ...

Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents

Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents Incremental fetch divides large documents or layouts into pages, thereby loading the data in batches (or blocks) rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large document or layout, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server. To apply incremental fetch to a document In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in the Document Editor. If the document contains multiple layouts, select the layout to apply incremental fetch to. From the Tools menu, choose Document Properties . The Document Properties dialog box opens. On the left, under Layout Properties, select Advanced . Select the Enable Incremental Fetch check box. From the Fetch Level drop-down list, select the object to be counted for the incremental fetch level. If the document or layout is grouped, the groups are displayed in the drop-down list. Groups that are displayed...

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...
