Slide repeaters

Repeats a slide automatically, once per distinct value of a Qlik field, so a single slide you design once becomes one slide per region, customer, or product when the template runs.

Where to find it

In the KPImailer pane’s Slide tab, with the slide you want to repeat active, select Add slide repeater.

How it works

Choose the field to repeat by - for example Region or Customer_ID - and the slide is duplicated once for each distinct value the field has at run time, with that slide’s Qlik objects and tokens scoped to its own value. It’s the slide equivalent of bursting (cycle) on a report, and the counterpart of the Excel sheet repeater: instead of one combined slide, each value gets its own.

Give the repeated slide a Slide name expression so each copy is named after its value - the Current slide-repeater value token ({{Repeat.Value}}) resolves to the value for each generated slide.

Worked example

A regional sales deck has one “Region overview” slide with a sales chart and a KPI. Adding a slide repeater on Region turns that single slide into one per region - “North”, “South”, “East”, “West” - each showing only that region’s data and named from {{Repeat.Value}}, without rebuilding the layout four times.

Caution

A field with many distinct values produces many slides, and KPImailer caps a repeater at 200 generated slides. Check how many distinct values a field has before repeating by it.
