Field linking in NPrinting between data connections

Hello,

I have an NPrinting report that we are breaking down by "Network Name". This report has 2 connections because the charts come from 2 different Qlik Sense Applications.

My NPrinting report does not know that Network 1 from Application A is the same as Network 1 in Application B. Therefore, my report is all mixed up. I’m using Levels to break the report up by "Network Name".

I'm using February 2019 version of NPrinting.

I'm sure this isn't a unique problem so if it is possible to link I would like to know how to do it, or if it is not possible, are there any workarounds?

Thanks for the help!!

Scott

Hi Scott

If you look at features gap table at official help website https://help.qlik.com https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2019/Content/NPrinting/Introduction/Introduction.htm
it shows that linked fields are not supported yet.
Currently there is no way you can link 2 connections in Nprinting 17 (and higher), especially when you are using leveles, pages or cycle functionality.

If you would have simple report without above mentioned you could use filters on both connections to mimic linked field behaviour.

Cheers
