My report should be on image format and that should be sent out to users. I believe we can do it with module editor. Need help on sending reports as a image format to users.

You need to write macros for exporting chart as image and then mail it to users. You can even attach the image in mails body through macro

Hi Murali,

I've been able to do this and have been using it in multiple apps/reports for a couple of years. As a summary, we use a chart in a Qlikview app and capture it as a image, which gets emailed out to specific people. The same chart is re-used for different people, by using a list box that filters for those people. All this needs to be run via a macro within the macro module in Qlikview. It isnt the most efficient way, but it does the job, basically the app is triggered to open from a windows task scheduler, the data is reloaded, then the filters are applied, then the macro is run, which in our case uses Outlook for each image, (you can have a collection of images per email or just one image). The email is sent and then the macro goes to the next list box option and loops the export part, until it is complete and then the app closes, until next trigger.

Since there are a few steps in play, let us know which one you need help with. A lot of material on the community sites regarding export, macros, etc...

You will have to fine tune the export part, so that it looks good in the email, also quality of the export so that your emails aren't huge, etc.

Hope this helps!

I am using a macro to store  the objects to JPG and then send those files to the recipients you want as an embebed image on the mail body.

 

The macro is :

Sub Init
               
   Set Button1 = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("OBJECTID_HERE")
   'Make a button on the designer and

   Button1.Press           
  
end Sub

sub CreaObjetos

     ActiveDocument.reload
     ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 2000
     ActiveDocument.Save
  
     ExpJPG "TX213","Logo"
     ExpJPG "CH218 Sales","GraphSales"    
   
     PrepareReports
            
End sub  


Sub PrepareReports 
                   
     ExportEmail "One.person@domainx.com"
     'ExportEmail "other.person@domainx.com"
     ActiveDocument.Save 
     ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Quit              
              
end sub

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   
SUB setVariable(varName, varValue)
set v = ActiveDocument.Variables(varName)
v.SetContent varValue, true
END SUB

        
Sub ExpJPG(ObjId,ResName)
  Set Objeto = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(ObjId)
  Objeto.ExportBitmapToFile  "C:\dashboards\email\"& ResName &".jpg"
end Sub

              
Sub ExportEmail(Correo)
  
  Dim objEmail

  Const SMTPServer = "mail.domainx.com" ' changed for public consumption
  Const SMTPPort = 25                 ' Port number for SMTP
  Const SMTPTimeout = 120              ' Timeout for SMTP in seconds

  Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
  Set objConf = objEmail.Configuration
  Set objFlds = objConf.Fields

  With objFlds

           .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "Business.Intelligence@solmar.com"
