Viewing reports and documents: links and buttons

A link is a connection between the currently displayed MicroStrategy document and another document or report. When selected, a link executes a document or report from the currently displayed document.

Links in MicroStrategy documents can be displayed as images, text, or buttons. The function and appearance of a link depends upon the way it is designed.

A button can also open a different screen, such as the Home screen or the Report List.

To follow a link that is displayed on a document, tap the button, or the linked image or text. To return to the original document, tap the Back arrow at the top-left of the screen.

When a link executes a report or document, it can change the following properties of the report or document that it executes:

• The grouping of a report or document

• The layout of a document

• The view of a report: as a grid, as a graph, or as a grid and graph

• The prompt answers that are used in a report or document

• The selector values that are used in a document

A link can also display the Group-by page. For more information about the Group-by page, see Getting Started with MicroStrategy Mobile for iPad.

For steps to create links in documents, see the Strategy Mobile Administration Help.
