MicroStrategy is an enterprise business intelligence (BI) application software vendor. The MicroStrategy platform supports interactive dashboards, scorecards, highly formatted reports, ad hoc query, thresholds and alerts, and automated report distribution. Interfaces include web, desktop (for developers) and Microsoft Office integration. MicroStrategy Mobile also supports mobile BI.
The MicroStrategy platform uses a single common metadata for consistency and streamlined maintenance. MicroStrategy’s 64-bit architecture supports in-memory analytics with “Intelligent Cubes” (i.e. OLAP reports cached in memory as data sets). Metrics and attributes are created once and used across different types of reports. Changes are made in one place and all related reports are automatically updated. Similarly, security permissions are granted in one place, reducing administration costs.
About MicroStrategy objects:
Filtering data on a report: Filters Filter icon
A filter is the part of a MicroStrategy report that screens data in your data source to determine whether the data should be included in or excluded from the calculations of the report results. Filters are helpful in clarifying large quantities of data and only displaying subsets of that data, so reports show users what they really need to see.
Asking for user input: Prompts Prompts icon
A prompt is a question the system presents to a user during report execution. How the user answers the question determines what data is displayed on the report when it is returned from your data source.
For example, an analyst in an accounting company needs a report designed to show actual revenue and forecasted revenue for his company’s clients. However, the analyst does not want to see data for every corporation with whom his company does business; he is only interested in seeing revenue and forecasts for certain corporations and only for the current year. The report designer can create one prompt that asks users to select which corporations they want to see data for, and another prompt that asks users what year they want to see data for.
