5 MicroStrategy Tools You Should Be Using
Are you leveraging MicroStrategy’s latest and greatest capabilities?
With each platform release, MicroStrategy strives to improve the user experience by introducing new tools and features while enhancing the core functionality that drew you to the platform in the first place. This allows for modern experiences in the secure, scalable, and high-performing environment you already rely on.
If you have just updated to a newer version of MicroStrategy- or are new to the platform altogether- you may be unfamiliar with the latest groundbreaking features. Check out the five modern tools you should be using to ensure you are getting the most out of the MicroStrategy platform:
1. Dossier
Build beautiful, interactive dashboards with Dossier. Dossier’s intuitive, drag-and-drop interface enables you to display and explore your data in seconds. Creating a powerful dossier is as simple as importing data, selecting visualizations from the host of options available in the Visualization Gallery, and dragging and dropping the attributes and metrics you would like to analyze. You can also quickly leverage more advanced functionality such as creating derived attributes and metrics, drilling, and inserting filters and selectors with no coding required.
In addition to cutting your authoring time in half, Dossier allows you to create more visually appealing dashboards than you ever have before. Newer formatting features, such as free-form layout, vertical scrolling, shapes, and images make it easy to design engaging dossiers that are personalized to your organization.

2. HyperIntelligence
Get insights in the websites and applications you rely on with HyperIntelligence, MicroStrategy’s zero-click analytics solution. HyperIntelligence allows you to create cards which display data through lists, ring charts, matrix KPIs, and text boxes. Those cards can then be surfaced anywhere in your web browser simply by hovering over keywords. Cards can also be accessed in Microsoft Outlook and on your mobile device.
Building a HyperIntelligence card is fast and simple but empowering your organization with access to HyperIntelligence can be transformative. It is the only BI tool that will enable every member of your organization to make data-informed decisions without leaving their frequented applications. See HyperIntelligence in action:
3. Workstation
Perform your critical workflows with Workstation. In addition to building dossiers and HyperIntelligence cards, you can now use Workstation to easily complete a variety of legacy architect and administrative tasks, such as creating attributes and metrics, executing Python scripts from your metadata, and monitoring and managing subscriptions, user connections, and database connections.
With all these features and more coming soon, Workstation is well on its way to modernizing and transforming the architect and administrator experience within MicroStrategy. Download the newest version of Workstation here and check out the latest Workstation capabilities:
4. Library
View and interact with dossiers in Library. Library lets business users explore all the dossiers and documents they have access to in one easy-to-navigate location. Business users can personalize their Library by favoriting their most-used dossiers and organizing them into groups for quick retrieval. Library’s intuitive interface will accelerate the adoption of analytics in your organization by making it effortless for every user to leverage the BI assets available to them.
When viewing a dossier in Library, business users can utilize bookmarks to save filtered views, comments and discussions to collaborate with colleagues, and share features to export the dossier to other platforms. Library is also available for mobile devices through the MicroStrategy Library app.
5. MicroStrategy Application
Access your dossiers and HyperIntelligence cards on your desktop through the MicroStrategy Application. The automatic refresh and smart download features allow you to open and explore content both online and offline with instant response times, even for your most complicated dossiers. You can also leverage the same bookmark, collaboration, and share features available in MicroStrategy Library. Learn more about MicroStrategy Library and the MicroStrategy App:
