Creating a link for a mobile document<br />

Prerequisites<br />

• Before creating links, create any target documents <strong>and</strong> reports, <strong>and</strong> use<br />

the following procedure to obtain their IDs:<br />

a Navigate to the folder location of the report or document.<br />

b Right-click the report or document, <strong>and</strong> select Properties. The<br />

Properties dialog box is displayed, with the object's ID displayed in<br />

the ID field. You can highlight <strong>and</strong> copy this ID to use in a link URL.<br />

• Know the prompts of the targets <strong>and</strong> how they will be answered (for<br />

example, with prompt XML or an attribute element).<br />

To create a link for a mobile document<br />

1 In <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Web, open the document in <strong>Design</strong> Mode or Editable<br />

Mode.<br />

2 To use a text field for the hyperlink, complete the following steps (if you<br />

are adding an image, skip this step):<br />

a From the Insert menu, select Text.<br />

b Click in the section of the document where you want to place the text<br />

field. If you click <strong>and</strong> drag in the section, you can size the text field.<br />

To<br />

ensure that the area of a link is large enough to recognize a<br />

user selecting it, make sure it has a height <strong>and</strong> width of at least<br />

40 pixels.<br />

c Type the text to be displayed to users into the text field. You can add<br />

static text, dynamic text (in the form of data fields <strong>and</strong> auto text<br />

codes), or a combination to the text field:<br />

To add static text, type the static text into the text field.<br />

To add a data field, drag <strong>and</strong> drop a dataset object from the<br />

Dataset Objects panel into the text field.<br />
