Configure PDF Report Packs

PDF Report Packs enable distribution of hundreds of views in a single PDF file. This is useful for some enterprise reporting use-cases that are otherwise very clunky to implement in reporting tools, or require manual creation or scripting to fully implement.

Report Packs are distributed via Bursts. They include visualizations of Elements included in the Burst. You can customize the look of the file by adding your logo (which will appear on each page at the bottom right) or by including a first or/and last page.

This functionality is available in the Customize tab of Burst Editors.

PREREQUISITES:

  • The ENABLE_BURST_PDF_REPORT_PACK System Variable must be enabled for the Report Pack section to appear in Burst Editor.
  • "Collect additional files - PDF" must be enabled for External Reports under the Advanced tab. Image must be recollected after enabling.
  • The article assumes that you have already finished all the required Burst configuration as described in Create New Burst.
