Multi-sheet Web Printing

With v8, web reports can be configured to enable multi-selection printing or save to Excel. For example if a published report has a slicer allowing the user to select a region (North / East / South / West), and another to choose the value (Gross Revenue / Unit Sales), the user can now quickly generate a single pdf or static Excel workbook containing their required selection combinations between the two slicers. This is enabled within workbook options:

The custom multi sheet caption allows the user to enter a more meaningful title (see below). Also specify the worksheet that is to be propagated along with the slicers to use. Publish the workbook as normal – when running in Web if the user chooses the option to Print they will be presented with the additional multi-select option:

The user can then select slicer choices:

A PDF file will be created with one page for each slicer selection. Save to Excel creates a workbook in the same way.
