Email Users when QMC Reloaded a QVW

[wonkymeister]

Morning All,

messing about with the QMC I want to notify users via email when a document has been reloaded by the server (and therefore the data refreshed)

but i'm getting lost in the QMC

can anyone help direct me as to how to set this up please?

cheers all!

Hi follow these steps,

Make sure the report is distributed..

Check the notify. Save it.

However this has the limitation that the email will be sent out to all to whom the report is distributed.

If you want to restrict the email list, you will need to create a bat/vbs file and add that as external task after your actual refresh task completes.

thanks for that - its working. i assumed that if i selected "All Authenticated Users" from User Type that it would email all those that have a CAL but doesn't seem to be the case?

anyway, using Named User and adding the user from the search works fine, many thanks.

is it possible to modify the set content of the email?

i thought it would be in System -> Setup -> Email Templates, the content of the email doesn't match any of the templates?

Which version of QV you are using?

I use Qv11 and I dont find an option to modify templates as far as i know.

In such cases i send out the mail from vbs file and schedule in QV as External Task. Advantage is that i can customize the body text and the emailing list.

11.2 i think

email templates are in

System -> Setup -> Distribution Services -> Email Templates

For me the template and the mail sent out seems to match..

Template: (Notify Plain)

Hi,

Who does it mail to when you choose "All Authenticated Users"?

Thanks

You can setup an alertmail inside the QlikView document that triggers on a condition and that way you get an email when document has been reloaded.
