Title: Dynamic email
Post by: terry_stjean on 05 May 2014 01:43:18 PM
I have some Cognos reports scheduled using the Cognos connection scheduler.
Is there anyway to have a dynamic email subject line and/or email body.
I would like to put a date for fiscal period in the email subject line.

You should try using the forum search. There is a lot of great content here already.

http://www.cognoise.com/index.php?topic=21135.0

The post includes a link to something that explains how to embed report content into the body of an email. I am not aware of any way to dynamically change the subject. If you find a way to do that then post back how to do it. That would be very useful to know!

Hi Lynn,
I had come across those messages earlier.
I'm going to see if I can tweek the IBM document to my needs. Ideally , I would like to change the subject line but haven't come across anything to help.
