KB42712: The &hiddenSections parameter in URL API does not hide the dockTop section when opening up a document in MicroStrategy Web 9.3.0-9.4.1

SYMPTOM
 
When the &hiddensections parameter is added to a URL API link to open up a document in Strategy Web 9.3.0, if the parameters are passed in a different order, the dockTop section will not be hidden.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

• Use URL API to construct the simplest URL to execute a document.
  Or, navigate to the desired document, right click on it and select "Show Link". Grab the URL from the Link box.
  
• Add the parameter &hiddenSections with the following values:
   
  

  
  &hiddenSections=header,footer,path,docktop,dockLeft

  
   
  
• Try the URL in the browser. Notice that the dockTop section is still visible as shown below. 
  

 
CAUSE
 
This is a known issue in Strategy Web 9.3.0.
 
ACTION
 
Contact Strategy Technical Support for an update on this issue.
 
WORKAROUND
 
To prevent this issue, the &hiddenSections parameter can be taken out directly from the Strategy Web 9.3.0 interface.
Right click on the desired document and select Show Link. The &hiddenSections parameter will be in the iFrame section inside the <src> tag, with the correct order.
i.e. 

&hiddensections=header,path,dockTop,dockLeft,footer
