Look at following video on YouTube.

This is crazy to see what we’ve got done from 3i on YouTube. As video is off poor quality, let me tell you what is it. Currently there is no option to create Custom Group in MicroStrategy Web. This MicroStrategy 8.1.1 Web SDK customization made it possible. But wait! let me tell you something about this. We (my employer) were the first and probably only buyer of this. 3i employee Sushil (happens to be uploader of this video too) was the man behind this request (web CG) that some (of employer’s) client were asking for long.

About this application, this is not even fully made. This guy simply disappeared when he was wanted to fix the bugs. It doesn’t provide the option to set the level (none, report, custom) for a filter based on Metric, so that option is still not exposed to clients. Person who did QA of this application (she declared everything Pass) was fired. Sushil, we are facing the heat of your half hearted application. Specially we feel bad cause my employer paid from nose for this highly unstable application. Because of this we had to almost remade this application by someone else. You specifically didn’t provide any code documentation.

This CG customization runs into a problem every now and then. Last but not least, this works only and only in 8.1.1 and up and is not forward complaint to MicroStrategy 9.0, to be released soon. I don’t know if being forward complaint was something looked at during planning phase. BTW, MicroStrategy 9.0 provides in-memory CGs. ASAIK, as per licensing condition, he can not re-sell it and he is trying to sell it. You may land in soup for this.
