KB13048: How to remove report name links from HTML documents in MicroStrategy Web

When creating an HTML document, if a report is added to the document, a link with the report name will be added to the document as well. This link allows a user to execute the report in Strategy Web 10.x, as shown below:

 
To remove this link and only display the report grid, follow the steps below:
 

• Navigate to C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Desktop\XSLs.
• Make a copy of the Default.xsl file, as modifications will be made to it.
• Open the Default.xsl file and search for 'report link', which should bring up the following section of code:
  <A><xsl:attribute name=`HREF`>RebuildReport.asp?ReportID=<xsl:value-of select=`$sReportID` />&MsgID=<xsl:value-of select=`/mi/im/@mid` />&view=Grid&redirect=False&Duplicate=True</xsl:attribute
  ><FONT FACE=`Verdana,Arial,MS Sans Serif` SIZE=`1` COLOR=`#000000`
  ><B><xsl:value-of select=`/mi/rit/rd/mi/in/oi/@n` /></B
  ></FONT
  ></A>
  <P />
  
• Comment out or delete this section of code.
• Restart Strategy Intelligence Server 8.x for the changes to the Default.xsl file to take effect.
• Execute the HTML document. The report names should no longer appear, as shown below:
