Designating sections of an Interactive Stacked Graph widget
as a selector
After you complete the steps to enable an Interactive Stacked Graph widget
as a selector, you must complete the following steps to determine whether
the graph or the legend serves as the selector on which the user clicks.
You can also determine whether the target is updated when the user hovers
his cursor over the graph or legend, instead of requiring the user to click on
the graph or legend.
Prerequisites
• The Interactive Stacked Graph widget has been enabled as a selector. For
steps, see Enabling widgets to be used as selectors, page 367.
• Flash Mode must be enabled for the dashboard. For steps, see
Determining the display modes users can choose to work in, page 56.
To determine which part of an Interactive Stacked Graph widget is enabled as
a selector
1 In MicroStrategy Web, open the dashboard in Flash Mode.
2 Right-click the widget and select Properties. The Properties dialog box
opens.
3 From the Selectable Area drop-down list, select Graph or Legend.
4 You can determine that target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks are updated
when a user hovers over the cursor over the graph or legend. To do so,
select the Change Selection on Mouse Over check box.
