2 Analyzing Documents in Desktop Report Services Document Analysis Guide 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 page-by check box. 5 Click OK. An Excel spreadsheet containing the selected data opens in a separate window. 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. A 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 34 Exporting documents © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.

Additionally, if the dashboards are being exported to MHT files, you must activate the links in the dashboard, by adding the folder containing the stand-alone Flash document to the list of Trusted locations in the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager. If the dashboards are being exported to PDF files, Adobe Reader will prompt you, when you click a link, to verify that the link is trusted. Displaying exported dashboards in Firefox You can use Firefox to open the exported MHT file for a dashboard, if you install the UnMHT add-in version 5.4.0 or higher. This software can be downloaded from http://www.unmht.org/unmht/en_index.html. The third-party product (UnMHT) is manufactured by vendors independent of MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy makes no warranty, expressed, implied, or otherwise, regarding this product, including its performance or reliability. In addition, to open an exported MHT file in Firefox using a Macintosh operating system, you must also change the file association for MHT files to Firefox. File associations determine which programs open various file types. Exporting documents to Flash To export a document to Flash 1 In Desktop, double-click the document name or icon. The document opens in PDF View, in Acrobat Reader. 2 Click the Export to Flash icon on the toolbar. A dialog box opens. If the Export to Flash icon is unavailable, Flash exporting has not been made available for this document. 3 You can choose to either: • Open the Flash file, by clicking Open.
