KB39626: How to use a calendar as selector in Interactive mode of a Report Services document in MicroStrategy Web

Starting from Strategy Web 9.2.x, "Date Selection" is introduced as a new selector, as shown below. The Date Selection selector uses a date type attribute as source. In Flash mode of a Report Services document, it appears as a calendar. In Interactive mode of a Report Services document, it appears as a normal selector control.
