4 Providing Interactivity to Users: Selectors Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide 22 Select Region in the Source drop-down list. The Region elements are displayed as items in the selector. 23 Clear the Show Option for All check box. 24 Click Manual Targets, then select OK at the prompt. The Available targets and Selected targets lists are now available. 25 Select the panel stack in the list of Available targets and click > to move it to the list of Selected targets. The selector will change the region displayed on the Grid/Graph in the selector and update the call centers listed on the Call Center selector. 26 Click OK to return to the dashboard. Save the document 27 Save and close the dashboard. To interact with the selectors, you must view the dashboard in Interactive Mode, Editable Mode, or Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web. Determining how the target of a selector displays (current state) By default, when a filtering selector is first displayed in MicroStrategy Web, none of the selector items are selected, so the selector's target displays all of the available items (all the regions, for instance, if the selector's source is Region). If the selector slices rather than filters the data, by default the first item in the target is selected in the selector, and its target displays data for that item (for example, Central, if the source is Region). Selector items are the elements that are listed in the selector. The user selects an item to update the target panel, Grid/Graph, or other selector. A user can make selections in the selector, which updates the target. If the user does not save the dashboard, when the dashboard is re-executed, the selector and target are displayed according to the default (all data for a filtering selector, the first item for a slicing selector). If the user saves the dashboard with his selections, when the document is re-executed, the selector and target are displayed according to those selections. 154 Determining how the target of a selector displays (current state) © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide Providing Interactivity to Users: Selectors 4 You can change these defaults by using the Current State setting to define how a slicing selector and its target are first displayed. You can define the Current State to display all items in the target or only a specific number of items. When a user saves the dashboard after selecting items in the selector, the Current State setting is Set to Specific Elements (the ones that the user specified). A filtering selector always displays as unset (all items are displayed) until a user saves the dashboard after selecting items, when the Current State setting is Set to Specific Elements (user-specified). For both slicing and filtering selectors, you cannot set the Current State to Set to Specific Elements; this state only occurs when a user saves the dashboard with updated selections. You can define the Current State only for selectors that target attribute elements on Grid/Graphs or panel stacks (See Methods to create a selector, page 117 for descriptions). Since selectors work only in MicroStrategy Web, this setting is applied only in MicroStrategy Web. This section contains the following information on setting the Current State: • For a more detailed description of the various Current State options, see Defining the Current State of a selector, page 161. • For examples of the Current State setting in a slicing selector, see Current State setting with a slicing selector, page 155. • For examples of the Current State setting in a filtering selector, see Current State setting with a filtering selector, page 157. Slicing selectors and filtering selectors are discussed separately because they have different Current State options. • For examples of the Current State settings used with multiple targets, see Current State settings and multiple targets, page 159. • For a procedure to define the current state setting, see To determine how the target of a selector displays, page 162. Current State setting with a slicing selector For example, a dashboard contains a Grid/Graph and a slicing selector that targets the Grid/Graph. The Region attribute is the source of the target.
