QV Variable not evaluated in the body of the HTML Email

[Lamharhar]

Hi

I created a task in Qlik NP, and in the email i tag a variable created in the QV app, but after sending email, the variable is not evaluated

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

I assume it is because your variable definition does not start with = sign and does not expand in QlikView. 
this is documented in help page and works as designed: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/Troubleshooting/Variables-dont-expan...

Hi,

I would like to add to @Lech_Miszkiewicz suggestion, to test the variable in the source QlikView document to be sure it is working as expected before using it in Qlik NPrinting.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Ok,

Next things to check:

• Version of QlikView vs Version of NPrinting - are you in supported configuration
  • https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/System-requirem...
  • 
• Did you change NPrinting connection name maybe - as you can see connection string is part of the name of variable you put in your email body
  • make sure you regenerate metadata and update those as well in case you haven't done so already
• creating variable by "=NakedFieldReference" is not a good practice. I suggest to use aggregation function of Concat(Distinct ) or Only() or some other depending on type of data MaxString() or Max(). This is just a good practice and in this case I dont think it will matter though, regardless personally I would not leave it like that. 
  • Since you are using naked field reference  you are assuming that at the time of report generation there is only 1 value in that field by either having just one value or applying filters to return only one value. If you are applying filters, please make sure your filters are correct and working. Keep in mind that NPrinting clears all selections before generating reports and that there is a list of unsupported objects like "triggers" or "always one selected value" which may play a role: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/GettingStarted/HowCreateConnections/...

Lets see how it goes once you check the above.

cheers

We have

Qlik NPrinting => May 2021 SR5
Qlikview desktop => May 2021 SR2

Are them compatible?

Thanks and Regards

• It should be-i am replying from the phone so hard to check it now, but i will check it later. 
• What about QlikView server? it needs to be on the same version as your desktop client used on Nprinting engine machine. 
  
• what about all other questions I asked regarding qvw compatibility.

Actually no they are not compatible.

NPrinting Designer and Server MUST be the same version.

• Qlik NPrinting Designer must be the same version as Qlik NPrinting Server.

But even though the above must be done, you need to set the email to evaluate to the user in the task or the publish task itself. See below
