(formerly
called
View
Mode)
When you open a document in MicroStrategy Web, it displays in the default
mode selected by the document designer. Each display mode is optimized for
a different type of user or analysis. For example, you can display and analyze
the document in Express Mode. You can use Interactive Mode to analyze and
manipulate grid and graph reports, or Flash Mode to work with Flash-only
features like widgets. Refer to the table below for descriptions of each display
mode. Additional modes are available for document designers; see the
MicroStrategy Document Creation Guide for descriptions of those modes.
What You Can Do in It Limitations
• View the results of the document.
• Use selectors to flip through the panels in a panel
stack or display different attribute elements or
metrics in a grid or graph report displayed on the
document.
• Sort grid reports, drill on them, and pivot report
objects on them.
• Export grid or graph reports to Excel or PDF.
• Change how Grid/Graph reports are displayed (as
grids, graphs, or both at the same time).
• Use links, which are connections to other
documents, reports, or web pages.
• Displays in Full Screen mode.
• Provides better performance than all other modes.
• Intended for analysts that need to view
information rather than create and edit
documents.
• Cannot create a new document.
• Cannot edit an existing document.
• Cannot manipulate or format Grid/
Graph reports, except to sort,
pivot, drill, and change how they
are displayed.
Note: Internet Explorer 7 is required
for the interactivity of Express Mode.
If you are using Internet Explorer 6 or
earlier, you cannot interact with the
document. You can instead view the
results only, as you might in a static
PDF file.
