Publishing the dashboard
MicroStrategy offers us a bimodal platform. For example, Enterprise BI and self-service BI. Desktop is a product for self-service exploration as was shown at the beginning of this chapter. We built the dashboard and now we want to upload it to the MicroStrategy Platform. In order to do it, we should create a server connection to our web server. Let's do it:
Go to MicroStrategy Web, where the project selection page is, and copy the link:
In MicroStrategy Desktop go to Files | Preference and insert the server URL:
Then click Test & Save Changes.
As a result, we successfully connected to MicroStrategy Server and can now upload our dashboard onto the server in order to spread it across the organization. Be aware that before spreading a new dashboard it is a good practice to validate it with the IT department.
Tip
In addition, we can export the dashboard as a PDF or image file. Moreover, we can save the dashboard as a .mstr file with imported data.
