    Who here has created a BatchConfig file for running Summary reports to reuse in a workflow?

    This is a great tool when you run the same report repeatedly.

    Do you mean for running summary reports? I have created a few extremely basic ones for different companies or demo purposes. Got any tips?

    I have toyed with it a little, but have not implemented it into any workflow yet.

    The BatchConfig file is really the first step in any kind of automation. It will give you a consistent output of data.

    If I had any tips it would be to filter your Markups list first for just the columns you want first, that will give you a bit of a headstart.

    It’s going to take some experimentation to get it exactly right, but it’s well worth the time investment.
