Broadcast Filtering to multiple users

Alexandre Oudea shared this question 4 years ago

wHi,

I’m a beginner at using Yellowfin, but my assignment requires me to broadcast a report to over 50 different users. Each of the ‘users’ are representing a different country. I am aware that by adding filters I will be able to send the appropriately filtered report to the respective user.

However, I was wondering if there is a way to expediate the process. Rather than add 50 filters or filter 50 times each time I broadcast, is there a way to pre-assign a filter to a recipient? That way I can send out a broadcast once to all 50 users simultaneously.

Thank you for your time and help in this matter.

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for getting in touch.

From what I can gather you need to restrict the output of the report to different users and the report would be based on where they are located? If this is correct, then you can use Access Filters to do this. Please take a look a our WIKI here for more information on how to do this.

Hi Paul,


I'm really sorry to bother you again, i've checked out the wiki and i understand how to create an access filter,

However, I am unsure on how to assign it to a report. Ive read the wiki section on this issue but am unable to understand

the explaination. Also i forgot to mention that this is exactly the feature i needed so thanks for that :)

Hi Alexandre,

You must assign it to the View first. So you need to follow the steps as outline here. If they are not in the view then you cannot use them in the report.

i.e. Here is an example using an access Filter on the Ski Team view on the Country Field.
