Batch Print button in the Export and Printing group on the Foresight ribbon tab. The Print 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.
To execute batch print, click the Batch Print button in the Export and Printing group on the Foresight ribbon tab. The Print Multiple Report Versions dialog box opens:
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.

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.
