Re: Create new Recipient list from QV doc for Nprinting
carson walker Aug 9, 2016 4:07 PM (in response to Crystle Stamper )Hi Crytsle -
So first & foremost - working with NP16xx - you can set up a task to automatically check for updated & modified Recipients from a QlikView entity.
You need to establish a connection to your Buyers Table in the Recipients Tab / Recipient Imports:
- Open the Recipient Import window - Click on 'From QlikView Entity', and click the '...' to the right of objectID. Choose your Buyers Table &Click OK.
- Now click 'From QlikView Entity' & follow the Import Wizard to pick the correct fields you want to import into NP. Click Execute & Import.
You can now click on Tasks - and open the 'Import Recipient Tasks' window -
here you can set up a task for NP to import All Recipients, Net New Recipients, Modified Recipients, and/or Delete Old Recipients.
Click on Recipient Imports - and add that Import Connection you created above. Save & Close -
From this - you will want to create a Job - running this Import Task - and schedule it on a recurring basis - this will ensure your list will be updated with New & Changing Recipients.
How to Create and Import Recipients with Filters and Distribution Groups
If you are looking to create an individual report (one separate report for each recipient) - you will want to ensure you use the Cycle function applied to the report - Cycling Reports on Multiple Fields
Cycle's can extract out the Buyers Information (name) from your QV report - to create a report for each buyer in your Table.
Lastly - the sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering: referring to the scattering of light off of the molecules of the air, and can be extended to scattering from particles up to about a tenth of the wavelength of the light. It is Rayleigh scattering off the molecules of the air which gives us the blue sky -
but you probably already knew that.....(just kidding, just making sure you're paying attention)

Crystle Stamper Aug 15, 2016 10:57 AM (in response to carson walker )Thank you so much for your reply Carson!
I followed your instructions and it did indeed work!
The only small issue I saw is when I tried running the Recipient Import task the next day, with different data, to test if it would correctly edit the list, it created a new Recipient Group and called it "E" ... which I found very strange... But it DID update the "Group 1" Recipient Group and that is the one in my Task distribution list so I guess it's not a big deal... just strange.
And you are my favorite now, haha, the sky is blue comment was awesome
And I did actually already know, since I was the kid who asked a million questions growing up (this was before google, if anyone even remembers those days) so my mom bought me a whole set of "Why?" books and my favorite was about the sky being blue, so I was educated about sky colors at a young age, lol
... but its still a fun random question. And you got it correct! Go you! AND you solved my Qlikview issue, so go you again!
Thanks for your help!! ...and the humor

Re: Create new Recipient list from QV doc for Nprinting
Tim Maher May 5, 2017 9:27 AM (in response to Crystle Stamper )Hi Guys,
This sounds exactly what I need to accomplish too. At the moment, I am successfully updating a list of users email address along with a primary key of ID :
The corresponding field in my DataSet is also 'ID', I now need to cycle through the ID field and where ID in my dataset matches my recipient ID 'above' sent the report to this corresponding email recipient.
Can anyone help??
Many thanks!
