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 as a single element only are not shown on this list.
  • If the document or layout is not grouped or all the groups are displayed as single elements only, the only option is the Detail section.
  • Enter the Block Size, which is the number of objects (of the Fetch Level) that are returned in each block.
  • Click OK to return to the document.

Incremental fetch on Grid/Graphs

Incremental fetch divides large Grid/Graphs into pages, thereby loading the data in batches rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large Grid/Graph, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server. Only a Grid/Graph displayed as a grid can be split into rows or blocks, and therefore incrementally fetched. This includes the grid portion of a Grid/Graph displayed as both a grid and a graph simultaneously.
This setting applies only to the rows, not the columns, of the Grid/Graph.
The batches of data are defined by the number of rows or blocks to return at a time. For example, a Grid/Graph on a document contains 360 rows. Incremental fetch is applied, with the number of rows per page set to 25. Only 25 rows are displayed on a single page of the Grid/Graph. Users can click the page numbers at the bottom of the screen to display more information. The document is shown below in Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web:

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.
