Using Variables in the Email Subject

NW1965 — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 21:17:05 GMT

I am using cycling on NPrinting and I'd like the email subject to read something like:

Latest EUROPE Report Published

EUROPE being a variable in the report that I'm cycling over.

Does anybody know how I can do this?

Hi,

You can use Qlik variables in email subjects starting from Qlik NPrinting February 2019:

Qlik variables in email bodies and subjects
In Qlik NPrinting, you can insert QlikView and Qlik Sense variables inside email bodies and subjects. This lets you send dynamic content to your recipients.
You can add variables in email bodies by clicking the Variables button. To add variables in the subject line, you first add it in the body, then cut and paste to the subject.
When you insert a variable in an email body, you can choose to evaluate its value after applying:

no filters
task filters
task and user filters

The tag of the variable will show your choice.

So you must update to February 2019 if you are still using an older version.

Then the feature is documented in this page of the help site: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2019/Content/NPrinting/DistributionSchedulesAutomation/DistributingReportsbyEmail.htm#anchor-2

Best Regards,

Ruggero

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Check that the variable is well defined in the source document. Does it start with the "="? Is still present in the source? Did you refreshed the connection cache recently?

Best Regards,
