KB37382: What are different Action Types of Action Selector Buttons or Links in MicroStrategy Web 9.x and 10.x

The Action Type option determines the type of action to perform when a user clicks the selector. This option is only available for Action Selector Buttons or Links. There are three different Action Types of Action Selector Buttons or Links in Strategy Web 9.x and 10.x, as shown below: 

• Submit: Select this option to allow the user to submit their changes and update the data in their data source.
• Recalculate: Select this option to recalculate the values of derived metrics, subtotals, reapply number and date formatting, and update other values calculated by the Analytical Engine when the user clicks the selector. No data is submitted to the Transaction Services report.
• Discard Changes: Select this option to allow the user to discard their changes. The user's changes to values displayed in the target Grid/Graph or panel stack of the selector are reverted to their values from the last time the changes were submitted.
