15.4.1 foreach Examples
The examples in this section include:
■ Single E-Mail with Report Groups as Separate Attachments
■ Separate E-Mail for Each Group Instance
■ Separate E-Mails with Separate Sections as Attachments
■ Separate File for Each Section
■ Separate Print Run for Each Report
15.4.1.1 Single E-Mail with Report Groups as Separate Attachments
In this example, each attachment contains the corresponding instance from the header,
main, and trailer sections. That is, if the report is grouped on department_id, and the
first department is department 10, the first attachment will be a report with header,
main, and trailer sections all containing department 10 information. This example is
valid only if the header, main, and trailer sections repeat on the same group instance,
in this case department_id.
First of all, assume in this example that "managers@mycompany.com" goes to a
mailing list that distributes to each department manager. If there are four departments:
10, 20, 30, and 40, the first attachment will contain header, main, and trailer sections
corresponding to department 10; the second to 20; and so on. This example will yield
one e-mail per recipient, each with four attachments.
15.4.1.2 Separate E-Mail for Each Group Instance
In this example, each recipient will receive a separate e-mail for each grouped report.
For example, if the report is grouped on department_id, and there are four
departments, one recipient will receive four e-mails, each with a separate department's
report attached.
15.4.1.3 Separate E-Mails with Separate Sections as Attachments
In this example, different sections repeat on different groups. The distribution is set up
so that each recipient will receive a separate e-mail with attachment for each grouped
main section and for each grouped trailer section.
