Create new subscription
With Inforiver, creating report subscriptions is easier than ever. Inforiver offers plenty of configurations to create and schedule your subscriptions.
You have the option of starting a standard subscription or a dynamic subscription.
Standard Subscription: A standard subscription sends the report to specific recipients configured in the subscriptions page based on the filters and bookmarks if any. The intended recipients for each category/dimension can be manually configured using filters, or can be uploaded in bulk via a CSV file that contains the recipients with filter details.
Dynamic Subscription: A dynamic subscription is similar to the standard subscription, but instead of configuring the report filters manually as per the user email IDs, we let Inforiver to implicitly regulate the dimension categories and share them with the intended report users mentioned in the report dataset.
1. Standard Subscription
By default, when you start a new subscription, you are initiating a standard subscription.
To create a new schedule from the report, publish the report to the Power BI service and click on the New Subscription option in the Export tab.
Alternatively, you can start a standard subscription by clicking New Subscription -> Standard Subscription (or just the New Subscription button) on the My Subscriptions page in the Inforiver console.
2. Dynamic Subscription
This feature can be used for reports or datasets that already contain Email IDs.
With dynamic subscriptions, Inforiver can detect email IDs from your semantic models/CSV files and automatically send the report to a specific user. You can also specify dimension filters to send only those categories to the users.
If your report contains user email IDs and you wish to start a dynamic subscription, click New Subscription -> Dynamic Subscription from My Subscriptions page in the console.
3. Subscription page settings
Starting a new subscription (standard or dynamic) takes you to the 'New subscription' page of the Inforiver Scheduler application. It has 3 tabs: 'Select Report', 'Set Subscription Frequency', and 'Select Destinations' where you can configure all your subscription settings.
For dynamic subscription, you can configure the table selection in the third tab: 'Select Destinations'. All other settings are the same as that of a standard subscription.
Click on the 'Pencil' icon on the top of the 'New subscription' page to edit the name of the subscription.
In the upcoming pages, we will discuss the tabs in detail.
