4 If your document contains page-by fields (see Grouping documents to
create pages of data, page 22), you can choose to export the entire
document or only the page currently displayed to Excel. Page-by allows
you to view the document by a selected group element.
• To export the entire document, clear the Expand page-by check box.
• To export only the page displayed in PDF View, select the Expand

Exporting a document to Flash
You can view and interact with the Flash content, such as widgets and
selectors, of a dashboard in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web. If you export
the dashboard to a Flash file, you and other users can also view it and
interact with it off-line, without using MicroStrategy. The Flash file is a fully
interactive, stand-alone Flash dashboard that works similar to the Flash
dashboard in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web. The Flash file allows HTML
content, images, Flash content, and other types of information to be exported
in a single file that can be opened in an Internet browser or Adobe Reader.
For general information on dashboards, including the objects that can be
used on them, creating dashboards, and examples, see Chapter 3, Analyzing
Documents in MicroStrategy Web.

selector that slices the data includes all the slices, and therefore all
the data, in the exported document. An off-line user can change the
selector and update the target. A selector that filters the data includes
only the data for the current selections in the document. An off-line
user cannot change the selector and update the target. The document
designer determines whether a specific selector filters or slices, as
described in the Document Creation Guide.
All the Flash files in a project are exported in either MHT or PDF format:
• MHT file format: can be opened in Internet Explorer, and in Firefox with
a third-party plug-in (see Displaying exported dashboards in Firefox
below for instructions).
• PDF file format: can be opened in Adobe Reader 9.
By default, when you export a Flash dashboard, any links to web pages,
reports, or other documents are disabled. A document designer must enable
