Displaying sections horizontally in MSTR

Displaying sections horizontally in MSTR Document

By default, all sections are displayed and printed vertically in a document. The Detail Header is displayed below the Document Header, the Detail is displayed below the Detail Header, and so on.

For Ex: the title Monthly Revenue is displayed in the Detail Header, while Month and Revenue are placed in the Detail section as shown below.

Displaying the Detail section horizontally displays the monthly revenue across the page, as shown in the document sample below. The Revenue metric was moved below Month, to present a half year of data across a single sheet of paper.

The following image shows the same document in Design Mode. The Detail Header contains the title, while the Detail section contains Month and Revenue. The Detail section is displayed horizontally.

You can also control the horizontal width using the settings: 

A horizontally displayed section prints horizontally across a page and therefore needs additional Size settings to control the horizontal size. 

These settings are:

•

•

Width can grow

•

Width can shrink

•

Maximum width
