NPrinting 17 - how to import filters with fields using different connections

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

We are using NPrinting 17.2.3, and we are trying to import users and filters, based on the example spreadsheet provided by Qlik.

I can only create filters with values based on one connection per filter. However we have apps using more than one connection, and we wish to keep it simple and have an unique user filter per app.

I am attaching an import spreadsheet that works with the filter named 'User1 filter' created with the field [Field 1] from the connection 'Connection1' filtered on the value 'Value 1'. How can I add to the same 'User1 filter' a filter on the field [Field 2] with the value 'Value 2' from the connection 'Connection2' ?

Thank you.

Bruno

It sounds that you are looking for linked fields between apps. 
Unfortunately this is not available. 

Future updates regarding this would be published here:

Limitations

Unsupported features

There are features available in QlikView NPrinting 16 that are not supported in Qlik NPrinting November 2019. These features are not migrated:

• FTP destinations
• Pretty good privacy (PGP) encryption
• Send to printer
• Test tasks
• Attach external files to email
• Unsupported output formats (.docm, .pptm)
• Compressed generated reports
• Importing external HTML files into email bodies
• Linked fields

A feature request has also been posted here as well. Please feel free to upvote for it/like here:

As a workaround that is commonly used, we recommend creating an app that contains all data and fields that you require for reporting purposes.

Kind regards...
