HTML Image as a Button That Exports a Grid on a Document to Excel in MicroStrategy

In MicroStrategy Web, it is possible to use an image as a button to export a grid on a document to Excel in MicroStrategy version 10.4 and later. This document provides the steps to accomplish the same. 

The goal is to create an image link that is used to export the grid, like shown below:

ExportGrid

Document in Edit Mode

EditMode

Follow the steps below:

1. Create a Report Services Document
2. Make two grids with different attributes and metrics in each 
3. Insert an HTML container (and not an image) and insert the script below. Make sure the Project name matches the given project and gridKey matches (highlighted in bold in the script below). The code below is used for the first grid and button. Main things to watch are the gridKey values and the name of the element id which in the below code is exportLink.
 
<a target="_blank" id="exportLink" href=""><img height="50" width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg/1200px-Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg.png"" /></a>
 
<script>
        try {
            var baseUrl = "./Main.aspx?&evt=3132&src=mstrWeb.3132&executionMode=4&gridKey=K44&Main.aspx=-.MicroStrategy+Tutorial.34955_&rwExportMode=4&rwb=";
            var beanState = mstrmojo.App.docModel.bs;
            baseUrl = baseUrl + beanState;
            document.getElementById("exportLink").href = baseUrl;
        } catch (err) {
            document.getElementById("exportLink").href = "";
        }
</script>


4. Insert another HTML container and paste the script below. Make sure the Project name matches the given project and gridKey matches. The code below is used for the second grid and second button. The gridKey value is different here and the name of the element id which is exportLink2.
 
<a target="_blank" id="exportLink2" href=""><img height="50" width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg/1200px-Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg.png"" /></a>

 
<script>
        try {
            var baseUrl2 = "./Main.aspx?&evt=3132&src=mstrWeb.3132&executionMode=4&gridKey=K45&Main.aspx=-.MicroStrategy+Tutorial.34955_&rwExportMode=4&rwb=";
            var beanState2 = mstrmojo.App.docModel.bs;
            baseUrl2 = baseUrl2 + beanState2;
            document.getElementById("exportLink2").href = baseUrl2;
        } catch (err) {
            document.getElementById("exportLink2").href = "";
        }
</script>


5. Run in Presentation mode and Click the Buttons to test that the grids get exported successfully.

Setting up a System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule in MicroStrategy

Setting up a System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule in MicroStrategy In some instances, a MicroStrategy user may want a System Manager workflow to execute on a set schedule or after an event has been triggered.

The user must first have a valid workflow. This particular workflow is a template that is delivered out-of-the-box with System Manager.     2. Save the workflow in  .smw  format.   3. In a text editor (such as Notepad), enter the command line statement that the task scheduler should execute.       4. Save the file in ...
