NPrinting User Subfolders

[michaeldburt]

Is it possible to create more than one subfolder (or folder for that matter) for an NPrinting user?  Can folders be seperated in the Folder or Subfolder field by a comma, semicolon, etc?

Trying to get around the fact we can't dynamically name/create folders. I've created the users for each of the values in my cycle field, but need to create subfolders based on a secondary field and the values of that field.  Can't seem to think of any other way, and I don't want to have to create 5 or 6 users for each.

Example:

I have 5 districts and created a user for each, as well as a folder for their user name (i.e. the name of the district)

each district has 5 or 6 territories in it, which need to be subfolders within those District folders.  My thought was to enter those territories individually as subfolders under the Users, but i don't think it's possible.  Hoping I'm wrong.

thanks

Hi,

It is NOT true that folders cannot be created dynamicly

You can always use variable as a part of the destination path.

See here for example - there is a path component "Qlik variable":

Re: Folder Destination with Qlik Variable

I think with the variable you can handle all required combinations!

cheers

After attempting to use the variables I was unable to get the reports to distribute to the necessary folders/subfolders dynamically.  The variable worked for the name of the reports, but they all went into the same folder.  I set the destination to use that same Qlik variable, but it only went to the root of the folder.

Hi,

If you want a different folder for each user you need to the the User Name or the User Folder or the User Subfolder in the destination configuration.
