KB274701: Hidden folders appear in the folder path breadcrumbs in Presentation mode in MicroStrategy Web 10.1

SYMPTOM: 
In Strategy Web 10.1, Express mode was replaced with Presentation mode. One key difference between Presentation mode and Express mode is that Presentation mode displays the folder browsing path at the top, when Express mode didn't. In Strategy Web, hidden folders cannot be seen, however if the objects inside them are not hidden, they can still be accessed through the search function if a user knows the actual name of the object. When searching for, and executing, documents that reside inside a hidden folder, the folder path breadcrumbs should not show the name of the hidden folder to prevent users from navigating to it. Instead, an elipsis should be displayed, as shown below:

However, in the new Presentation mode, the full file path is revealed, as shown below:

 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

• Create a folder under the Shared Reports folder, called Base folder.
• Create another folder inside this folder, called Hidden folder.
• Create a RS Document in this folder called Report.
• In Strategy Developer 10.1, right click on the Hidden folder > Properties.
• Enable the 'Hidden' property for this folder, as shown below:
  

• Back in Strategy Web 10.1, navigate to the Base folder. It will display empty.
• Use the magnifying glass icon at the top right to perform a search, and search for the Report document created in step 3.
• Notice the folder path to the document is still hidden, as shown below:
  

• Click on the name of the document to execute it. It will execute to Presentation mode by default.
• Notice the folder path breadcrumbs contains the name of the hidden folder in it. 

 
CAUSE: 
This is an identified defect in Strategy Web 10.1. Although the hidden folder displays in the breadcrumbs, clicking on it results in no action. The user still cannot navigate to that folder.
 
ACTION:
This defect has been addressed in Strategy Web 10.3, Please upgrade to take advantage of the fix.
