Qlikview Capabailities to Send Email

[aj0031724]

Dear Team,

Do we have any documents regarding the  Capabailities of qlikview to send emails with chart objects attached  ?

Feature that works with Emails and that does not works with emails?(Do's and Dont's)

Conditional based emails or looping mechanism emails etc at run time ?

Can you please share and advise ?

Analysis on Insight Alarm System Findings,:

  Can you confirm if the below statemst are true to my knowledge ?

1. Qlikivew Alerrt does not have any looping mechanism to loop over  fields and evaluate the condition and send email alerts.
2. Alerts can only be created and triggered from Win- dowsversions of QlikView (that is, not from AJAX clients).
3. Mails are not getting send from Client/Webivew Mode.
4. Sending mail from macro code does not support in Webview mode.It works only with Desktop Client mode.
5. Document reloaded at server side does not execute  the macro in weview mode in batch mode.
6. Can I include a chart image in an alert email?->No

   QlikView Desktop Alerts  does not Run in Server Reload Process.

7. QlikView Desktop offers the ability to create auto-generated alerts based on certain conditions. However, this will only run if the reload is done in QlikView Desktop but not during an application reload executed through QlikView Server.

Dear Team,

Can you please guide?This is required to estimate clients new requirement to send email from Qlikview.

Hi Avinash,

You can run the macro from QMC by calling batch file from QMC. Though QMC doesnt directly calls macro but it does through Batch file.

Through macro you can attach chart image as an attachment or within mails body. You can also loop through fields in macro.

You can also try running the macro in accesspoint by using IE Plugin.

Hi Saima,

So does this means that we need to have macro code to support Email and not directly over Qlikview Alerts functionality?

Do you have documents to share on Capabilities functionality of Email from Qlikview?

So does this means that we need to have macro code to support Email and not directly over Qlikview Alerts functionality? --- yes we need macro to send email and not directly from Qlikview unless we have some supporting tool like NPrinting. From Qlikview Alerts you can send emails but that will not include images n the mail body or loop over the fields. It will be static message.

Do you have documents to share on Capabilities functionality of Email from Qlikview? --- No sorry i dont have any such document maintained.

Can you confirm if the below statemst are true to my knowledge ?

1. Qlikivew Alerrt does not have any looping mechanism to loop over  fields and evaluate the condition and send email alerts. ---- It does not have any looping mechanism
2. Alerts can only be created and triggered from Win- dowsversions of QlikView (that is, not from AJAX clients). --- Not much idea
3. Mails are not getting send from Client/Webivew Mode. --- If its through alerts it will get send. If its macros it won't get send.
4. Sending mail from macro code does not support in Webview mode.It works only with Desktop Client mode. --- It supports in Webview mode provided that it gets triggered from IE Plugin.
5. Document reloaded at server side does not execute  the macro in weview mode in batch mode. --- It gets reloaded by using batch file or .vbs file. It does not execute Macro when triggering QVW.
6. Can I include a chart image in an qlikview alert  functionality email?->No
