Repeating Delivery on a Report which is Filtered by $$USER.ID

Problem

- On a weekly basis, we 40+ users a report that is filtered by $$USER.ID.

- To get the report to display the individual users data rather than the user that setup the repeating delivery, we have to setup a repeating delivery per user so the report is delivered with the access rights of that user.

- Within each report, you can configure up to 10 repeating deliveries.

- To workaround the maximum # of repeating deliveries, Workfront Customer Care recommended that we "create" the same report 4 times in order to set up each of the repeating deliveries

- This workaround is time consuming from a maintenance perspective (i.e., one change to the report requires the same action be taken 4x; monitoring which user is on which report for the repeating delivery, etc.).

Proposed Solution(s)

- Increase the maximum # of repeating deliveries for a report

- Modify the "Deliver this report with Access Rights of" to allow $$USER.ID

Hey all! There are 2 other threads asking for the same thing. Would be great if we can all consolidate maybe we'll get closer to the required number of votes!!

We also use something similar to this. It would be SO MUCH more efficient to have one report and one repeating delivery filtered by $$USER.ID than to have to create multiple repeating deliveries and reports.
