Assign multiple documents to one scheduled job

[On-prem release: 2022 Spring]
[On-prem build: 22.02.25005]

When setting up a scheduled job, you can enable Multiselect - meaning that you can add multiple documents (dashboards and/or reports) to a single scheduled job.

Output will be one PDF file per source document.

Exception: You can create scheduled jobs that exports individual objects to Excel. If you schedule an export to Excel, one job can only have Excel exports from multiple documents if the Export all data objects to multiple sheets is enabled. See Scheduled Excel Export. To prevent that too many objects are exported when enabling Export all data objects to multiple sheets, you should also consider configuring Export settings on individual objects. See Export settings per object.

If Delivery type is set to Email or Subscription, all resulting PDF files will be attached to a single email.
