Nprinting custom folder using dynamic naming.

Good Morning,

We are new to Nprinting and need to create custom folders using client names. For example, we have three clients, ABC Company, 123 Staffing, and 456 Grocery. We need to run standard monthly reports that push to a folder structure as follows:

A:\Monthly Report\ABC Company\ REPORT NAME.pdf

A:\Monthly Report\123 Staffing\REPORT NAME.pdf

A:\Monthly Report\456 Grecery\REPORT NAME.pdf

We found a post from Aug 1, 2014 indicating that dynamic folder naming was NOT available in Nprinting. Is dynamic naming still not available? We have found nothing on Qlik Community that would suggest it is supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are able to configure a custom folder inside a report task. My recommendation is the make each client a recipient inside of NPrinting. Then as part of a directory structure for the custom folder in the report task, you can use the recipient name to create an additional subfolder. The reports will be stored appropriately.

dynamic naming refers to the report name and not directories.  An option you can take would be to define your default output directory as A:\Monthly Report\.  Then for each recipient, you would add their sub folder, such as ABC Company, 123 Staffing\

this will place the output in the corresponding folder based on the recipient of the report

Sherry,

Dynamic naming is available.

In the General window of a Report Task select Custom Folder in the Output Folder area of the window.

This will allow you to add various parameters including the recipient name into the output path.

Add elements to the output path by clicking the green + signs on the right hand side of the window.
