Thresholds on Attributes now a reality from MicroStrategy 10.4!

Well well this is one of the most wanted feature out of the box for such a long time and now we have its ready available in v10.4. This is a freaky awesome feature. Now I'll smash those funky old BO developers who mocked at me back in 9.3.0 days with this feature. It took MicroStrategy such a long time to get this feature done. Never late. Thank you MicroStrategy. And here is how you do it.

This was made possible due to section made available for the microstrategy user community Idea Exchange. There are several other features available in latest releases just because an idea got posted in the exchange. I would recommend the community to post the ideas or any requirements which is not feasible to be done and it would enable MicroStrategy to work on it and get it available.

Just as you would apply thresholds using advanced thresholds editor and here is how you do it and see it on the reports.


Create a simple report with a few Attributes and a metric from the MicroStrategy Tutorial project and run the report. Now create a simple threshold in the report using the Advanced Thresholds Editor.


Now you should be able to see the thresholds in the report. Awesome isnt it!
