Hey,

On CE9, have any of you ascertained a way to dynamically populate scheduled instance names using placeholders?

In the destination tab of your report object, you can insert a placeholder using the dropdown menu. (Title, Owner, DateTime, etc.)

What I want to do is insert SI_PROMPT1/SI_CURRENT_VALUES/SI_VALUE1/SI_DATA value from CI_INFOOBJECTS into the filename. However, if you attempt to call a value other than %SI_NAME%, %SI_DATETIME%, or any field not from the dropdown, this is interpreted as a literal string.

eg. %SI_PROGID%_%SI_NAME%.pdf is interpreted as:
- %SI_PROGID%_ReportName.pdf
rather than
- 100100_ReportName.pdf

Can you think of a way to pull additional fields from CI_INFOOBJECTS to dynamically build the filename?

For anyone digging this out from the archives, this currently isn't possible with CE.

However, Ido's VisualCUT from handles this well.

Cheers,

Naith
