Broadcasting improvement

Current limitations

  1. A broadcasting action cannot be set in a procedure to be scheduled (since it's a web aside action).
  2. in the broadcasting panel there's no possibility to set a condition to run or not an action

there could be cases where I would schedule a bradcasting based on a condition (e.g. send the email only if an error flag = 1) or some steps are needed before running the broadcast.

What I suggest is to:

  1. have the possibiliy to schedule a procedure containing brodcasting actions

and / or

2. add a feature in the brodcasting admin panel where I can set a condition; I imagine a penal like the If then else action.

thanks

    Hi Daniele,

    You can set up some limited rules when you broadcast from a layout (email tab within broadcast options). I know it's limited, but we achieved to not send out mails in case a cube has a certain treshold.

    Kind regards,

    Niels

    Thanks Niels, I also have obtained it in this way but it's is a workaround and limitations.

    It would be great have these capabilities ready for use

    I think this would be a great way to expand functionality on Broadcasting in Board!

    Hi Daniele,

    it will be also useful to be able to extract a screen or screen objects in PDF document from a database procedure.

    In this case, i will be able to reload the pdf document in a blob cube.

    I agree, the ability to schedule procedures with broadcasting actions would be a great improvement.

    Thanks Daniele for bringing this up.

    I confirm that this would be very useful to send a mail after procedure execution in order to keep track on scheduled tasks (Back Up, Feeding from accounting, etc…)
