Domain Users and Subscriptions
Hello. I'm creating an app to manage the pipeline of thematic research across my firm - metadata tagging, monitoring timelines, sending out notifications, etc.
I don't want my ops team being a bottleneck for user management. So I envision doing the following, but I'd appreciate input as to whether it will actually work or not - I don't want to test for fear of pinging 10k+ users.
For the sake of this discussion, the simplified plan is as follows:
In this scenario, will everyone in my domain receive the subscription email or only those users who have created a profile and where their preferred content groups match up with the records in the Pipeline?
Thanks,
Patrick
I don't want my ops team being a bottleneck for user management. So I envision doing the following, but I'd appreciate input as to whether it will actually work or not - I don't want to test for fear of pinging 10k+ users.
For the sake of this discussion, the simplified plan is as follows:
- I create a table, Pipeline. Each record is a piece of research. Each record is assigned a content group, e.g. Policy Research, Behavioral Research, etc.
- I add the domain @mycompany.com as a user to the app in the role Default_User - with rights to add, edit, etc.
- I create a second table, Profiles. Each record represents an individual. Each record has a preferred content group multiple choice.
- I create a formula user field in the Pipeline app to return the current user.
- I create a relationship between the Pipeline app and the Profile app via that current user field to return the "Current User's" preferred content group.
- I create a report in the Pipeline app to return all records where the record's content group = the current user's preferred content group.
- I create a subscription to that report. The subscription is designed to be sent out to everyone in the role Default_User. The subscription will only be sent if the report contains any values,.
In this scenario, will everyone in my domain receive the subscription email or only those users who have created a profile and where their preferred content groups match up with the records in the Pipeline?
Thanks,
Patrick
