Dynamic email headings

Dynamic email headings: in scheduled reports and burst reports it is not possible to dynamically set the content of the email subject header: it would be nice if you can dynamically set the heading of an email to include for example the group value in a burst report, the last date of updated data, or some other report or receiver depending piece of data

    Would also recommend adding the ability to customize the subject header to allow for the following (example):

    • Static change

    • Pre-append (***INTERNAL USE ONLY*** <default report name>)

    • Append (<default report name> - INTERNAL USE ONLY)

    • Date, customizable format (<default report name> - [DATE])

    • Dynamic based on value passed through

    At my customers site there are 60 different bursted output versions for each run. It is impossible to tell one output from another. Not only must the mail subject be data driven, the name of the appended PDF file must also be data driven. Creating 60 report views and running each separately is simply not an acceptable option.

    I agree, also very important for our organization as we schedule 1000's of reports per week.  Having the option to place any parameter/formula etc in the subject would be extremely beneficial!

    This feature is a must have for my client, as the manager receives all bursted reports and cannot separate them. So the current functionality is highly intransparent.

    Thanks
