NPrinting - Mass Distribution

brandon_d — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 20:03:50 GMT

I have a report that I would like to distribute to 30 different users, but I want each user to only receive a report specific to their data from a scheduled trigger. Is this possible through a single published task? I have been creating separate tasks for each user, but it feels like there should be a better way. So far I have created a filter for each user that is specific to the user, not sure if that is needed or not. Thank you in advance!

Hi Brandon,

You seem to be 99% there. Yes you need the user specific filters (assigned at the user level)

Then all you need is a single Publish Task with the reports you want to distribute and the users/groups you want to deliver to added in. When run, the reports will be filtered automatically based on the user level filter(s) before distribution to the user destination (e-mail, folder, NewsStand, Sense Hub, etc.).

See (applies to Qlik Sense as well although it only mentions QlikView): https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/September2017/Content/DistributionSchedulesAutomation/HowDistributeUserSpecificQVR…

Hi Brandon,

You dont have to create 30 reports for 30 users,

create a filter to each user and apply their corresponding filter to the user.

for example :

lets say there is a report with below table

country product sales

USA 1000k

UK 1122k

Russia 899k

and create filters country = USA and apply to a user he will be getting

country product sales

USA 1000k

create a filter country = Uk and apply to another user he will get

country product sales

UK 1122k

and so on
single report is sent out acoording to the user filter , the report will be filtered and the data which makes sense to them will be delivered.

you can add fliters while creating users or you can add filter after user is created (existing user)

Thanks - sravan
