KB287615: Edit Links on a Microchart Widget aren't clickable in Presentation mode in MicroStrategy Web 10

SYMPTOM:
Edit Links allows for documents to be linked in Strategy Web 10. For grids, Edit Links can be used on attributes to allow users to link to other documents or reports by clicking on the attribute elements in the grid. The image below shows a document in Interactive mode. When hovering over the attribute element, the Edit Links tool tip is visible noting the link.

But when the grid is configured as a Microchart widget in Strategy Web 10, Edit Links does not work on the attribute elements in Presentation mode. There is no way to click the link on the attribute element as seen below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

• Create a report containing Category, Subcategory, Cost, Profit, and Revenue.
• Create a document containing a grid with the attributes and metrics from Step 1.
• Select the grid, right-click, and choose Properties and Formatting.
• Under Widget, choose Microcharts from the Widget dropdown.
• Make sure the Display widget setting in is checked for DHTML.
• Press OK.
• Right-click on Category in the grid and choose Edit Links...

• Choose a report to link to under the Run this report or document section.
• Press OK.
• Run the document in Presentation mode.
• Notice that there is no way to link to the report selected in step 7.

CAUSE:
This is a limitation of Strategy Web 10. in Presentation mode, as the links would work in Flash mode in previous versions of Strategy Web. A request has been logged to address this limitation.
ACTION:
