nPrinting Condition issue

Hi Experts,

let me explain my scenario:

I want to send reports from a table in QV to different email addresses using nPrinting 16.7
 
Department Value
1123
2456
3783
 
each address scould only get the lines from the table depend on its department:
 
emailAddress 1 gets only Department 1 values as PDF attached
emailAddress 2 gets only Department 2 values as PDF attached
...
 
my solution:
 
Qlikview entitiy Report 
  1. Cycle: Department
  2. Filter: Today (to send only today data)
  3. Condition: vDepartment > 0 defined in QV  as max(Department) and Chart has Values
recipient:
a with Filter Department 1
b with Filter Department 2
c with Filter Department 3
 
It works fine, if the table has values for all Departments but if one Department is missing the condition does´nt work as expected.
i.e.:  There is no data for Department 3 at report creation time -->recipient c  gets 2 PDFs: Department 1 and 2!
 
How can i handle this problem?
 
Thanks for your response!

Hi,

Ok, now I understand. You need to add cycles to be able to add the department name in the file name but cycling on the same field used in recipient filters will cause issues with the results.

You could create a QlikView variable with the formula GetFieldSelections() ( https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/April2019/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/ChartFunctions/... ) and specify that you want to have a single value. Then you insert this formula in the file name. I have not tried.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi,

Did you enabled the Verify filters option on the filters?

I think you should create the condition only to check if the table has data.

If each recipient has a filter to receive only data from a department why are you also cycling? You should use cycles only if you want to create different files for each distinct value of a specific field. In this case it seems a duplicate cycling on department and apply a filter on department for each user. Each recipient with filters will receive a different file without the need of cycling.

This could also create troubles in QlikView NPrinting 16 because it is like when you click two times on the same value of a field in QlikView Desktop. The first click applies the filter and the second removes it. This could explains why a recipient is receiving unfiltered data.

Thanks Ruggero for your reply!

yes, i enabled the Verify filter option on the filters.

Cycling is because of dynamic naming of reports based on Department. I coud'nt find another way to do that. Do you have any Suggestion?

Hi,

It is not necessary to cycle to enable dynamic naming. You can simply check the Enable Dynamic Naming flag and configure it.
