Multi Slide
The Multi Slide is a combination slide that may be added to any pack
It enables the creation of a single slide in a pack containing up to four charts, boxgrid or crosstab in different layout formations
When first added to any pack the layout will be set to show a single visual for the whole slide with no visual type selected
To set up a multi slide:
- Select the Slide Layout
- Select the Slide Type
Slide Layout
The slide panel allows selection of the slide layout to split the slide between 2, 3 or 4 visualizations in different formations
Choose from:
- Vertical
- 1 x 1
- 1 x 2
- 2 x 1
- Horizontal
- 1 x 1
- 1 x 2
- 2 x 1
- Grid
- 2 x 2
Slide Type Selection
For each of the slide panel zone it is possible to select a
In this example the 2 x 1 vertical layout has been selected with the following settings applied to the 3 zones
- A. Zone 1: Vertical Stacked Bar Chart
- B. Zone 2: Vertical Stacked Bar Chart
- C. Zone 3: Horizontal Stacked Bar Chart
Refining Slides
Each slide panel has a number of controls available in the top right corner which will allow you to refine the view of the data on the selected slide independently of other panels on multi slides
- A. Filter
- B. Paging
- C. Color Control
- D. Color Legend (if colors applied)
This allows side by side comparison between data in similar charts as shown in the image with both zone 1 and 2 displaying the same chart but
- Filtered by Gender: Female
- Filtered by Gender: Male
Show or hide filters and paging
When using a multi slide with paging and/or filters applied to zones, the filter and paging controls reduce the amount of available space on canvas to display the individual visualizations
To restore this space it is possible to collapse the filter or paging pills by selecting the controls
The controls allow both paging and filter pills to be collapsed or expanded independently for each slide zone
Drag and Drop colors, filters or paging
Any filters, paging or colors applied to a zone on a multi slide may be dragged and dropped onto another zone to apply the same selection
This makes the process of applying the same refinement to more than one zone quick and easy to achieve
To use this feature simply click and drag the required icon (filter, paging or color) from one zone onto another to copy the selection

Global filters or paging
In addition to applying filters and paging to individual zones of a multi slide it is also possible to apply filters and paging to the entire slide
Any filters that are applied to zones will apply as subset of the global slide filter
To apply global slide filter or paging
- Select the filter or paging button
- Select the required properties and buckets to filter on
- The applied filters will then be displayed on the slide

Each zone of a multi slide has the option to select the property used to define the hierarchy and therefore Parent By independently across multi slide zones
To change the property used to Parent By:
- Select the settings cog ⚙️ for the zone to expand the Parent By property selector
- Select the required property to define the hierarchy for the selected zone of the multi slide
- Repeat process if required for other zones
