Report level slicer

Is it possible to use a slicer that will apply to all pages of a report?

Agreed, this works for the "Slicer" view, but not for other varieties of Slicer, e.g. Chiclet Slicer (1.6.0). 

 

We needed some method of displaying all selections on a single view, without resorting to a significantly reduced font size.  Someone on this group suggested the Chiclet slicer, but the Sync slicer option doesn't recognise it as a slicer 😞

This is not possible due to couple of reasons. One of them is Slicer is a page scoped. I had the same requirment. So as a workaround I used Dynamic Filtering feature. Not the exactly the same as traversing between pages, but much similar behaviour untill get a proper solution for this. For dynamic filtering refer the below Video

Hi @Saloni,

 

No. It is not possible to do that. A slicer selection only affects the visuals in current page not across all pages.

Slicer is page scope  object so you can't achieve that.
