Qlik NPrinting Server and SharePoint as a Qlik NPrinting report destination

Question

Does NPrinting have the ability to send NPrinting reports to a Microsoft Sharepoint or other worldwide web url address destination?

Environment

Qlik NPrinting: All Versions

Resolution

It is not possible to automatically distribute Qlik NPrinting reports from an Qlik NPrinting publish task to any type of HTTP, FTP or any other worldwide web url addresspath.
Therefore, it is not possible to send NPrinting Reports to an MS SharePoint worldwide web address.
To workaround, it is possible to use a local or network path as defined in Distributing reports to folders
Create a network share on the Sharepoint server and use that network folder as a destination for the distribution of your Qlik NPrinting reports.

Local and Network path examples:

Local: c:\nprinting\output
network: \\myfileserver\files\nprintingoutput

NOTE: Keep in mind that the NPrinting Scheduler service user account must have NTFS file and folder security permission to access local or network share folder destinations. It must also be in the same domain as the share point or destination server host address path or the NP service account will fail to open the network path.

Hi,

This seems like great-to-have feature. Is this planned anytime sooner?
