Hello,
I am using BOBJ 4.1 and I am setting up a Dynamic Recipient list to burst cost center reports to a group of managers. Some managers maintain 1 cost center while others maintain up to 10 cost centers. Currently a manager with 10 cost centers will receive 10 different emails, each with a report for one of the 10 cost centers. In order to reduce the number of emails a manager with multiple cost centers receives, I want to do either of the following two options:
1. Send one email to each user in a ZIP file. If the user has multiple cost centers, the ZIP file should contain one report for each cost center.
2. A user with 10 cost centers would receive 1 report that has data for all 10 cost centers in it. I'm thinking in the recipient list I would have the user, then for cost center I would have "cost center 1; cost center 2; cost center 3..." but this doesn't seem to be working.
If anyone has any insight into how we can reduce the number of emails a user with multiple cost centers receives, that would be a huge help.
Please see below for a simplified visual explanation of what I am trying to accomplish. I am using Cost Center Key as the determining factor for Personalization to each user.
Thanks,
John Cintolo
RECIPIENT LIST - notice one user has 3 cost centers
COST CENTER REPORT
CURRENTLY EACH USER RECEIVES AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT LIKE THIS FOR EACH REPORT THEY ARE ASSIGNED
BUT JOHN HAS 3 COST CENTERS AND SHOULD RECEIVE EITHER 3 REPORTS LIKE ABOVE, ALL IN ONE ZIP FILE IN ONE EMAIL, OR ONE EMAIL AND ONE REPORT THAT DISPLAYS ALL 3 COST CENTERS IN IT LIKE BELOW:
