I am trying to broadcast a report from Yellowfin to an SFTP server.
I have a option that says 'user prompt filters' with a drop down that says 'default filter values' as the only option. (I need one that says custom, so i can define a date range)
The report is being run each day, when the file arrives it does not contain any data.
My assumption is that the default filter values are wrong, but I do not have authority to change this as the end user.
I have contacted the vendor who is the 3rd party providing my access to yellowfin but they're not sure how to change it.
Any advice would be great - I'll pass this back to the vendor.
Hello Timothy,
Thanks for reaching out with your question. If you review the 'Filters' section of this Wiki page on FTP Schedules, you have a couple of options here.
The first should be 'Current Filter Values', which will broadcast the report as it's currently loaded at the time of creation.
Another option you have, if you're after custom, is creating a Bookmark of the report with the filter values you'd like saved. To do this, filter your report as desired. Next, click the button to create a Bookmark. Name this as desired so you know what the filtered report represents.
Now, revisit the FTP Scheduler and review your options under 'User Prompt Filters':
This allows you the 'Custom' option you desire.
Please let me know if this helps!
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Sorry for the late response.
Yes it has been resolved. I changed the broadcast time from midnight to 11:55pm.
I still don't have the ability to change the other fields as i'm the end user, and don't have access.

Hi Venu Gopal,
Thanks for your email with the scenarios.
At the moment this is only possible while designing the report but not while executing the report, user will not be able to choose unless they edit the report.
This will be a good idea to give the flexibility for the user to choose the operators while running the report.
If you are happy, I can convert this ticket to idea.
Let me know if you have any concerns or questions.
Regards,
Mahesh
