Nprinting recipient bug?

[Vicky1]

Hi, 

Not sure if this is a bug or specific to me but I've had the following issue. 

When creating a publishing task email message, the 'To' box will not populate. It will not accept user emails manually and won't display any of the variable drop down options when selected. 

I'm quite new to Nprinting and since my reports were sending, I assumed that leaving the To, CC & BCC boxes blank, it would default to the emails of the user/groups attached to the task. I noticed that the recipients were receiving the email addressed to them multiple times (see the image below)

I figured out that I must have clicked the 'User email' option from the drop down 7 times to receive the above with the 'To' remaining blank and thus unable to remove. I had to create a new task. 

Obviously not a massive issue, but for a beginner such as myself, I didn't know what was causing the duplication or how to input email addresses manually. 

Many Thanks

VIcky1,

What version of Nprinting Server are you currently running?

Hi,

It seems something related to the web page. Try to refresh it or close and re-open.

When you click on User Email in the Add recipients drop down menu the User_Email_Address tag should be added in the To field.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Additionally, check your publish task such that:

• You have enabled the report for email distribution
• You have added recipients to the task
• You have enabled email as a destination for each recipient added in bullet two above.

Also I want to say "Welcome to the Qlik Community!"

Hi, 

Thank you for replying and apologies for the delay in responding. 

I'm still having the same issue, for any publishing task I create. I'm not getting the Tag you have above. Perhaps my users are not set up correctly?

They're listed in the User/Groups section of the task and are enabled for all destinations. 

As I said in my original post, the task is running fine, however until I've run the task, I can't be sure who will receive it. 

It's not giving me any issues to be fair, I just make sure that I click 'User Email' in the drop down only once.

Hi @Vicky1

The user_email address tag is the default tag.

You only need this tag to distribute reports to users you select in 'Users/groups' as per the image I shared earlier. Then ensure the 'destination' is set for each user you add to the task.

As such, the steps I shared with you will get you the result you need.

I suggest testing by adding one user at a time.

If you are not seeing the tag, try creating a new test task and leave the default 'to' tag as is. It will be populated with the right tag by default.

Kind regards...
