Hello,
I have an on demand pixel perfect report with a cycle that allows users to pick one or more customers and run the report. The report downloads to a folder.
How can I convert this so that once a month each rep gets a report for each Customer in a directory? Ideally I would like the pdfs to not be in a compressed folder.
Thank You,
Michael
Hi @mstoler
one part is basic and simple - you just set distribution to folder and while setting up folder you can make path dynamic based on report recipient attribute and/or Qlik variable - this is all documented in help: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/AdministeringQVNprinting/Folder-dest...
second part is twisted as currently running cycle in NPrinting will produce zip file and there is no way you can get away from this. You can redesign your approach and resign from using cycle and start distributing reports where your (user/recipient) will be effectively a "Customer" entity with the folder linked to the Rep. So the steps would be:
For every recipient (Customer) report will be produced and stored to a assigned folder.
That is the way I would do it.
by the way - make sure report name is dynamic and contains at least customer id or name so files won't get overwritten when published to the same folder.
