Report Services Document Analysis Guide Analyzing Documents in MicroStrategy Web 3
Executing a report or another document from a Data Cloud
widget
A Data Cloud widget can have links, which allow you to connect from the
widget (the source) to another document or a report (the target).
Information can be passed from the source to the target. For example, the
target can display information only for the object selected in the source, for
the objects chosen in the source’s prompt, or for specific, pre-determined
objects, among other options. If the widget has links, when you hover your
cursor over an attribute element in the widget, the Links menu is displayed.
You can click a link in the Links menu, and the target opens.
For example, the Region attribute in the Data Cloud widget shown below is
linked to the Top 2 Employees by Call Center report. This report is prompted
for region, and the link passes the current region to the report. In Flash
Mode in MicroStrategy Web, you hover the cursor over Mid-Atlantic, then
point to Links in the tooltip, to display the available links, as shown below:
When you click the link Top 2 Employees by Call Center, the target report
is displayed. Only the call centers in the Mid-Atlantic region are included, as
shown below:
Using a Date Selection widget
A Date Selection widget is a calendar selector that allows you to select which
dates you want to see data about in a document or dashboard. You are able to
see all of the dates of each month in the widget, which allows you to select
dates more easily.
