Report Parts Distribution

[RS12]

HI -
Using BOEXI and CRXI.
We have a large report with a Group on Supplier with their specific information (of course).
We can easily distribute this entire report to email adresses, but is there any way to distribute only the relevant report part (grouped on data) to each supplier.

Bascially so they do not see other suppliers data. Somehting like
"If groupname = 123 then email to john @ hotmail.com else if groupname=345 email to jim @ hotmail.com etc......"


If not has anyone found a good work-around?

Since you're emailing the report, you can't use Business Views, which would otherwise allow you to filter the instance at view-time based on the user groups.

Your only option, as far as I know, is to parameterize the report based on Suppliers and then schedule the report multiple times, once for each supplier parameter. This way, everybody gets just their data. Unfortunately, you have to schedule the report multiple times...
