Properties dialog box, Layout Properties, Advanced

The Advanced options in the Layout Properties section of the Properties dialog box include incremental fetch options and display options for documents displayed on an iPhone with MicroStrategy Mobile.

Incremental fetch divides large documents or layouts into pages, thereby loading the data in batches (or blocks) rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large document or layout, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server.

For example, each row in the Details section of a document contains the Item attribute and several metrics. Incremental fetch is applied, with a block size of ten. In Editable Mode, Interactive Mode, or Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web, only ten rows of items are displayed on a single page. You can navigate to another page to display more information.

To enable incremental fetch for a different layout, select that layout by clicking its tab at the top of the Layout area, then opening the Layout Properties dialog box.

Note: You can define the incremental fetch options in both MicroStrategy Web and in Desktop, but incremental fetch is applied only when the document is executed in MicroStrategy Web. Desktop does not apply incremental fetch to documents.
