KB42484: How to remove the gradient effect from the bar riser in a bar graph in MicroStrategy Web and MicroStrategy Mobile

Bar risers in bar graphs in Strategy Web have a gradient effect by default, as shown in the image below.
 

 
One way to achieve this is by turning off the bevel effect in Strategy Desktop by following the steps provided in tech note KB30149. However, the appropriate way to hide the gradient effect in Strategy Web so that the bar risers show a solid color without turning off the bevel effect in Strategy Desktop is described below.
 
ACTION

• Right click on the bar riser while viewing the document in Editable Mode and select Fill and then Gradient, as shown below.
  

• Change Color 1 and Color 2 to be the same color and select OK.  The bar riser will now look like a solid color, as shown below.
  

To additionally turn off the bevel effect in Strategy Mobile, disable the option to 'Apply rounded effect to all series' by right clicking on the graph and navigating to Format Graph, under the General Tab and Maximum category, as shown in the image below.
