KB42126: How to change the number of documents that display on the Summary Page under Shared Reports in MicroStrategy Web 10.x

 
When using the Summary page as the default home page, the Shared Reports section will show only 2 documents by default in Strategy Web 9.2.x and 9.3.x.
 
ACTION
The number of objects displayed on the Summary page under Shared Reports in Strategy Web is hardcoded with a value of 2 in the styleCatalog.xml file within the web server. It is possible to modify this file directly, however, this change should be made through a plugin via the Web Customization Editor, as per best practices.
 
Note: Direct modifications of OOTB files contradict best practices and are not supported. This change needs to be done with a plugin.
 

1. Launch the Web Customization Editor.
2. Create a new plug-in.
3. Navigate to Strategy Web Configuration -> Web Configuration Settings -> Styles.
4. Open FolderStyleSummary.
5. Navigate to the "Style Parameters" tab on the bottom of the window.
6. Select maxObjectTypeCount.
7. Increase the "2" in the Value field to the desired number of documents displayed under Shared Reports.
