KB8189: How to add Dynamic text in the Graph Title and Footnote definition box in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x

 
Strategy Developer 9.x provides the option to choose variables in the titles and labels of a graph to include the report name, current date, time stamp, etc. These titles and lables are generated automatically every time the report is run.
 
 
The variables available per component are the following:
 

• Title: %%REPORTNAME%%
• Footnote: %%CREATIONTIME%% or %%CREATIONDATE%% or %%CREATIONTIME%%%%CREATIONDATE%%
• X Axis: %%AXISINFO%% (for Scatter and Bubble graphs only)
• Y Axis: %%AXISINFO%% (for Scatter and Bubble graphs only)

To set the variables for titles and labels, follow the steps outlined below:
 
 

1. Execute a graph report. (If the report is not already in Graph view, from the View menu, choose Graph View)
2. From the Graph menu, select Titles and Labels.
3. In the Titles dialog box, select a check box for the components you want to appear in the graph.
4. After you finish with a title, click OK to save the selections and close the dialog box.
