KB45005: How to Remove Tabs from the Left Pane on the Report Execution Page Using the MicroStrategy Web SDK 9.3.1

 
To remove tabs from the left pane on the report execution page as seen above, follow these steps
using the Strategy Web Customization Editor 9.3.1.
 
Using the Web Customization Editor to create a plug-in
 
Strategy SDK provides a Web Customization Editor that can be used to create a customization plug-in. The following steps show how to create the plug-in and deploy.

• Launch the Web Customization Editor.
• Create a new plug-in and give it a meaningful name. For example: RemovingPanelsFromLeftPane. (For step by step instructions on creating a new plug-in, please navigate to Home > Web SDK > Customizing Strategy Web > Web Customization Editor > Features and Customizable)
• Click in Strategy Web Configuration inside the CSS Settings view to expand the hierarchical tree.
• Navigate to CSS > Strategy Web Styles > style > mstr
• Right click on reportPage.css and select New Selector
   
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #annotationsId_tab
   
  Note: this CSS selector will remove the Notes tab on the left pane.
   
  
• Select the radio button This Page and set it to report
• Click Ok
• Expand CSS > Customized Web Styles > style > pageReport.css
• Right click on
   
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #annotationsId_tab
   
  
• Click New Property
• Type in display for the property and none !important as the value:
   
  

• Repeat steps 3-8, and swap out the selector value for step 4 for removing addtional tabs as desired.
   
  Other selector values are as follows:
   
  

•  
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #workingSetId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #tbObjBrwsrId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #mdxObjBrwsrId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #annotationsId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #relatedReportsId_tab
  

NOTES:

• If users do not want these tabs on any page (not just the report page), this can be applied to the global.css page.  To do so, when creating the display property, instead of choosing This Page, choose All Pages:
   
  

• If users want to modify tabs on the left pane for documents (rwd page), the CSS selectors are as follows:
   
  

•  
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #workingSetBrowserId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #annotationsId_tab
  .mstrWeb #accordion_AccordionTabManagerStyle .mstrTabSet #relatedReportsId_tab
  

Note: This scenario will remove the tabs across all Projects. For information about how to remove a tab for a specific project, see the following TN:
