Home Connector Maintaining The Connector Multiselect Picklists

Multi-select picklists allow reports to pull data from multiple sources and consolidate it into a single report. The underlying data must be structured identically. Multi-select picklists are configured like regular picklists but use the keyword PICKLISTM instead of PICKLIST. When running a report with a multi-select picklist, the user will be prompted to select the relevant data sources. The report then consolidates the data from the selected sources into one report. PICKLISTA automatically selects all picklist entries without prompting the user and brings in data from all sources. When data is exported to Excel, each data source is listed separately on the raw data sheet rather than being consolidated.

MultiSelect Picklists
MultiSelect PICKLISTs allow reports to pull information from more than one source and consolidate it
into one report. The underlying data must be structured identically for this to work. MultiSelect
PICKLISTs are configured in the same way as ordinary PICKLISTs except that the keyword PICKLISTM
must be used instead of PICKLIST.
When you run a report that references a connection with a MultiSelect PICKLIST you will be prompted to
select the data sources of interest.

Select the relevant sources and click OK. The report will consolidate the data from the selected data
sources into one report.
The third syntax that is supported for Picklists is the PICKLISTA (standing for "Picklist All") syntax. This
syntax has the effect of using PICKLISTM but with the user automatically selecting all the Picklist entries
at report run time. Use PICKLISTA where you have like data in disparate data sources and always want
the information from ALL the sources brought into the report without being prompted.
When the data is rendered to the raw data sheet in Microsoft Excel (the first sheet in

NOTE: the workbook), the data set from each data source will be listed on the raw data
sheet as one set beneath the other. The data is not consolidated in any way.
