The changes made using the Quick Edit sections apply to all selected data blocks.

Report suites

Data blocks pull data from a selected report suite. If multiple data blocks are selected in a worksheet and they don’t pull data from the same report suite, the Report Suites link displays Multiple.

When you change the report suite, all data blocks in the selection adopt the new report suite. Components in the data block are matched to the new report suite based on ID, for example, matching evars). If a component isn’t found in a data block, a warning message is displayed and the component is removed from the data block.

To change the report suite, select a new report suite from the drop-down menu.
