KB39884: How to Create a Link to Export the Current Document using the MicroStrategy Web 9.x

Using Strategy Web 9.x, it is possible to create a link on a document which will export the current document to a desired format. This is useful for users  who need the ability to export their document when toolbars have been removed through customizations.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Add an HTML container object to the document. The HTML container can be formatted with no fill or border to appear as a text link
   
2. Click on the HTML container object and enter the following syntax:
   <a href="mstrWeb?=&evt=3069&src=mstrWeb.3069&executionMode=3&MessageID={&DOCUMENTMESSAGEID}" target="_blank" onclick="return submitLink(this, event);">Click to Export!</a>
   

The executionMode parameter determines the formatting of the export. Setting this parameter to 3 will export the document to PDF while 4 will export the document to excel.
