Batch Print button in the Export and Print group on the Foresight ribbon
tab. The Printing Multiple Report Versions dialog box opens:Batch operations are operations executed for multiple report versions. Report versions are based on the selection of fixed dimensions' elements that is set using the controls shared by all report sheets.
NOTE. If the data source does not contain fixed dimensions, batch operations are disabled.
The number of report versions equals to the Cartesian product of all the elements selected in fixed dimensions. For example, a report contains two fixed dimensions. If the user selects two elements for each dimension when executing a batch operation, the number of possible pairs based on these elements (that is the Cartesian product) is four. Therefore, four report versions are created.
The following batch operations are available:
Batch print.
Batch print is printing of multiple report versions that are formed by fixed dimension selection.

The dialog box shows all the fixed dimensions. Set the required selection and click the Print button.
Batch export is export of several report versions. Report versions are created according to the selection of data source's fixed dimensions.
Batch export of a regular report is available if there are controls that are common for all exported report sheets. Controls must be associated with fixed dimensions. If the controls are common for all report sheets, but are not associated with the fixed dimensions, batch export of the report cannot be executed.

Click the Finish button. A standard dialog box opens for the user to select location for the created file. If the report is saved to several files, the user is prompted to go to the folder that contains the created files.
Names of output files are formed as follows: <file name>+(<combination of fixed dimensions' elements>)+.+<format>. For example: Socio-economic indicators (Regional data; tourism).xls.
