KB45897: Express mode is not re-applying conditional formatting when switching selector values in MicroStrategy Web 9.3.1.

SYMPTOM:
Developers may control whether certain shapes display depending on conditions by using the “Hide Image” feature while applying Conditional Formatting in Strategy Web 9.3.1. For example, a green rectangle may be configured to display when revenue exceeds $400,000 and a red rectangle may be configured to display when revenue falls below $400,000. However, users may notice that this kind of functionality does not work when the document is executed in Express Mode.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

• Create a report in the StrategyTutorial project that contains the Year and Revenue
• Create a document using this report as a dataset
• On a panelstack, create two rectangle objects with different fill colors
• On the same panelstack, add a textbox with dynamic text for Revenue
• Outside the panelstack, insert a dropdown selector that selects for Year and targets the panelstack
• The design of the dashboard should look similar to the following:
  
  

• Set the conditional formatting for one of the rectangles to "Hide Image" if the Revenue exceeds $10,000,00 and the conditional formatting for the other rectangle to "Hide Image" if the Revenue is below $10,000,000.
  
  

• Execute the document in Interactive Mode. Toggle the year selector to observe that for certain years, one rectangle will be visible while the other will be hidden.
• Now, execute the document in Express Mode. Even when the year selector is toggled, the Conditional Formatting does not appear to be applying.

CAUSE:
This is a known issue with conditional formatting in Express Mode in Strategy Web 9.3.1.
 
ACTION:

WORKAROUND:

1. Click the Refresh button after updating the selector in Express Mode.
