Can you use other recipient fields in dynamic report names in nPrinting?

[morganaaron]

Hi there,

Within the General tab of an Excel report in nPrinting you can enable dynamic naming - you can include the Recipient Name as Item and it reads the "Full Name" of the recipient, but is it possible to include a different recipient field here instead? The value box is greyed out so doesn't allow choosing a recipient field, and the custom text seems to just be text strings and not accepting the standard %%Field%% formula.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Aaron

In dynamic naming the only recipient field you can use is "full name".

You could also insert a QlikView variable whose value could be set to change for each recipient by building an NPrinting "variable" filter which does that; see:

Thanks Aran,

Thought as much - the name of the recipient isn't actually part of the Qlik Dashboard, it's referencing a Depot number, but producing for a given list of people, we may end up just loading a list into the report to pull back the value but hoped we could use the same functionality used within the emails!

Is there any chance that can get noted down as a request for the next version? Would be extremely handy to be able to choose a different field, especially if we can use the Custom fields.
