Option to use bookmark for broadcast filters not available

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for your question.

If you navigate to Admin Console > Roles > (Role), you should be able to enable the use of Bookmarks and Broadcasts in the Role Functions page. It seems as if this is toggled off by default, so this may be all you need to change to get that functionality.

Let me know if this works in your instance.

Kind regards,

Simon

Hi Simon - apologies, I thought I'd replied to this last week! Yes this option is enabled against the relevant roles hence we can save bookmarks and snapshots against reports, it's just that they're not showing up when we set up filter values against broadcasts on those reports with saved bookmarks.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for trying that for me.

I've gone ahead and confirmed the behaviour and rasied a task with our Developers. I will get back to you once I hear any updates.

In the meantime, a workaround may be to select the Bookmark that you wish to use as a Broadcast filter and then add the Broadcast using 'Current Filter Values'. Let me know if this helps at all.

Kind regards,

Simon

Hey Simon, just wanted to check in on this one - do we know if this is being looked at by any chance? Have a few clients following up on it as it is a key part of their broadcast config.

Thanks,

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for your message.

I can see that the task has been updated by the Developers, however, it is still in testing and doesn't seem as if it has been resolved just yet. I will reach out when there is a conclusive resolution shortly.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Simon

Hi Brendan,

I hope you've been well.

I'm just reaching out to let you know that this issue has been resolved in the most recent version of Yellowfin released last Friday and is able to be downloaded from here.

Let me know if you have any further questions and I'll get back to you shortly.

Kind regards,

Simon

Hi Simon, thanks for the update, I've made note of the fix and started the process to upgrade our instance. Looking forward to seeing that in place!

Kind regards,

Brendan
