How to Select Multiple Pools in ControlUp for Reporting Purposes
Multiple users discussed the possibility of selecting multiple pools in the dropdown menu from the folder structure in the console for reporting purposes. While there is no current solution for this, there is a workaround by organizing pools into separate folders. However, the built-in sync script does not allow for customization of folder mappings, so this may not be a viable solution. There is a feature that allows for custom folder mapping in the Universal Sync script, but it may not work for all situations. Further discussion and resources can be found in the Slack channel.
