Merging Many to One

Merge multiple Interactive Reporting documents from one folder into one merged document. The merged document contains all sections from the original documents.

*  To merge sections by using Many to One:

  1. From Merge Method, select Many To One.

  2. Click Browse button (next to Source Document Folder), to locate the folder that contains the documents to be merged.

    If Source Document Folder contains ESMs, it is recommended that Import be used to avoid duplication of hidden sections. Otherwise, all hidden sections from each ESM (except for the first document in the folder) must be removed.

  3. Click Browse button (next to Save Path), to locate where the merged document is to be saved.

    If the specified file name duplicates an existing file name, specify another name.

  4. Click Merge.

    After the merge process is complete, a report detailing the merged sections is displayed.

  5. Optional: To examine the merged Interactive Reporting document and connect it to Dashboard Studio, click View.

Note:

When merging components into Dashboard Studio templates or Interactive Reporting documents, both BMP and GIF files are available.
