Right Click Menu

Right Click Menu in MicroStrategy 2020 Presentation Mode

When we run a dossier in the presentation mode, by default vitara charts will not show the right click menu options.

To enable this feature we have to configure the “global.txt” file in the below given path.

/apache-tomcat-8.5.32/webapps/MicroStrategy/plugins/VitaraCharts/custom

Edit the ‘global.txt’ file. At the bottom of this file, you will find the following line “#statePresentation.contextMenu=1”.

Uncomment this line by deleting the # at the starting of this line.

After uncommenting save the ‘global.txt’ file.

Delete the browser cache and reload the MicroStrategy web page. Now the right click menu will show the options when we run the dossier in the presentation mode.

Add the same flag in the global.txt file in vitara charts library plugins. Below is the path of global.txt file related to vitara charts library plugins.

/apache-tomcat-8.5.32/webapps/MicroStrategylibrary/plugins/VitaraCharts/custom

Edit the ‘global.txt file and insert the flag “statePresentation.contextMenu=1” at the bottom of the ‘global.txt’ file, save and close the file.

From latest version onwards, the right-click menu is enabled by default across all visualizations. This menu allows users to enable or disable features as needed.

Below is a screenshot showing this property in the global.txt file:

To disable this feature, set the following property in the global.txt file: statePresentation.contextMenu=0

📌Note: The respective global.txt file must be configured separately for both Web and Library applications. After making changes, users must clear their browser cache to ensure the updates are reflected in any Vitara charts
