Using Parameter Values to Burst Active Dashboards and Compound Reports

Topics: Learn More

In addition to the ability to distribute sections of a single report to individual users using standard bursting, you can now use a parameterized filter to distribute sections of reports. This new feature allows you to burst reports that originally could not be burst, including active dashboards and Compound Reports in Excel format.

When scheduling a report that contains a filter with a static or dynamic multiselect parameter, access the Parameter options and select values from the multiselect parameter that you want to include in the distributed report or reports, using the Parameter Value for Amper Variable dialog box. In this dialog box, the Repeat Task for Each Selected Value check box displays, as shown in the following image.

Selecting the Repeat Task for Each Selected Value check box allows you to repeat a schedule task process for each selected parameter value. When the schedule is run, the recipient receives separate reports for each selected parameter value, as shown in the following image.

When you select the Repeat Task for Each Selected Value check box, you can select the Run Pre/Post-RPC Every Time check box to execute pre and post-processing procedures for each value you choose in your multiselect filter, as shown in the following image.

If the Run Pre/Post-RPC Every Time check box is not selected, pre and post-processing procedures will execute only once for all task repetitions.

The Repeat Task for Each Selected Value check box must be selected before the Run Pre/Post-RPC Every Time check box can be selected.
