 Hi,

 I have a requirement to send a civireport of branch members to each of 90 branches each month (we use a custom field to denote the branch). Am I right in thinking I need 90 reports & 90 specific cron entries to do this 'out-of-the-box'

Or,  can  I script a much more 'nuanced' cron & pass report parameters in. My quick look at CiviReportMail.php suggests I can't pass in email address or filters - which is what I would need for this approach.

I haven't really gone down the track of setting up reports to email in the past because the one cron per report has never seemed to fit (i.e I'd want to be able to set up the cron & then the users of the site could set up individual reports as they required them)

As a side issue - one frustration I have with working with reports through the gui is that I can edit an existing report & update it but I can't edit it and 'save as new;

I got the impression from the code I looked at in the bin folder that it's not grabbing the criteria from the URL but I guess I can try it

I'm thinking that the criteria for a report may be stored in relationship - e.g. the report for Widgeemootha branch will be sent to the person who has the active branch co-ordinator relationship with Widgeemootha branch. So, yes I will definitely need a wrapper to call the report multiple times.


I'll test & confirm whether the filter can be passed in.
