Is there a way of using Bulk Selections to generate Workflow reports?

I need to set up a mechanism whereby my user can select entries from a list (Bulk Select) and have the App generate a report based on the selection. The only way I can think of is create an action to write the Keys of the selected entries into a “spare” spreadsheet, then us that to filter the records for a report. Otherwise I think it would need to create one report for each selected item. Am I right or have I missed something?

Multi-select cannot perform navigation actions, so (1) can’t be done from multi-select.

(2) can be done from multi-select.

(3) cannot be done from multi-select. There is no programmatic way to know that the action is being run as part of a multi-select, nor is there a way to perform an action only once for a multi-select (e.g., only once after all of the multi-select have been done).

To accomplish what you want, I’d suggest not using multi-select, and instead implement your own search feature that allows the user to choose the desired rows, capture them in a slice, then act on the slice.
