WYSIWYG Report Layout and Formatting that Is Pixel-Perfect On Screen and Print-Perfect on Paper
MicroStrategy Web extends report design capability beyond specialized report developers to include the business user. For the first time in the industry, business users can design and refine reports in full WYSIWYG mode through a zero-footprint Web interface. WYSIWYG design represents a radically simpler model for designing reports and makes it possible for average business users to "tune" reports to the exact structure and format desired, without time-consuming iterations with professional report designers.

Some report writing tools are optimized for either on-screen viewing or paper printing, but may require separate products for each. MicroStrategy Report Services provides a single report definition that is interactive and looks great on-screen while still possessing all the properties required for printing precisely formatted reports that may span hundreds of pages. With a single click, business users generate a report in portable document format (PDF), and report developers and business users have precise control of headers and footers, sorting, page break logic, page orientation, page size and margins, and fit-to-page options.

Features

All Types of Scorecards, Dashboards and Enterprise Reports
MicroStrategy Report Services delivers all types of enterprise reports:

  • Scorecards and Dashboards - Designed for visual impact, these reports show a distilled view of the business, organized in adaptive sections or zones.
  • Managed Metrics Reports - With a quantitative focus, these reports comprise lists of metrics or process-driven tabular views of the business.
  • Production and Operational Reports - Fundamental to production operations management, these reports detail data in hierarchical categories or bands and can span across hundreds of printed pages.
  • Invoices and Statements - These reports utilize transaction and sub-transaction level data necessary for billing, collections, and customer service.
  • Business Reports - Financial and other statutory business reporting requires comprehensive reports in print and electronic form.

MicroStrategy Report Services' unique pixel-perfect design provides the precision necessary to deliver these reports via the Web with boardroom presentation quality.

Full Interactivity for All Scorecards, Dashboards and Enterprise Reports
With MicroStrategy Report Services business users can rearrange the organization of any report using simple drag-and-drop actions, right mouse-click menus or toolbar icons. With these familiar and intuitive methods of interaction, business users navigate, sort, pivot, drill on fields, create new calculations, switch between cross-tab and graphical views, and perform common tasks such as such as printing, exporting to Excel, and emailing. Collaborative interactions, such as adding status updates to a report, are available in one-click.

Users Access Enterprise Reports Through A Zero-Footprint Web Interface
Published reports are immediately available to MicroStrategy users over the web from any browser, without the use of Java applets, ActiveX or other plug-ins. Refreshing simultaneously with database loading, report information is live. Flexible prompting personalizes reports to each user thereby allowing one report to serve many users in many different contexts, for fast and efficient report development. Users access reports online based on user-specific permissions with security extending down to the cell level, making reports both personalized and secure.

Full Integration Into the MicroStrategy BI Platform
MicroStrategy Report Services is the enterprise reporting engine of the MicroStrategy platform, working as a service in MicroStrategy's services-oriented architecture. It inherits all the benefits of the MicroStrategy platform, including iron-clad security, centralized administration, unified metadata and advanced prompting. The user interface stays the same as users move from reporting to analysis, minimizing product training and easing user adoption.
