Scheduler 

1. High-performance scheduler for faster run times 

Experience even faster run times with our enhanced subscription scheduler. We have optimized our processes to reduce job run times significantly. Scheduler jobs are now three times faster than before.  

Also, the high-performance mode is now the default, while the standard mode can be chosen if necessary. 

2. Improved dynamic subscription scheduler UI 

We have enhanced the dynamic subscription scheduler user interface by providing a user-friendly, step-by-step flow for easier and more intuitive report scheduling. 

3. Multi-filter in dynamic subscription scheduler 

When scheduling dynamic subscriptions, you can include multiple filter criteria, combine them logically using AND/OR, and customize your report deliveries for the recipients.  

4. Cancel ongoing subscription jobs 

We have added a ‘Cancel job’ option with which you can suspend ongoing subscription jobs. Canceled jobs are recorded in error logs, and for email subscriptions, they would trigger an email notification. 

After canceling a job, you can choose to re-run it after making the necessary changes. 

5. One-click copy for subscription links 

Inforiver lets you initiate subscriptions from external applications in addition to scheduling them from the console. This requires you to copy the API token and the subscription link. There is now a one-click copy option to copy the subscription link without any hassle. 

6. Include report screenshot with native visuals  

In email subscriptions, you can now include a PDF screenshot of the scheduled report along with native visuals. This feature lets you simultaneously capture Inforiver and native visuals through our subscription scheduler. 

7. Hide report link in emails 

When setting up an email subscription, you can choose to restrict your recipients from accessing the complete report and deliver only the specified report data. 

By enabling the option highlighted below, you can remove the link to the report from the subscription emails. 

8. Other Enhancements 

• Support for Reporting matrix visual export: Inforiver’s subscription scheduler can now export Inforiver Reporting matrix visuals. 

• Page count limit check: When scheduling reports that are more than six pages long, there is a risk of job failure, which may require you to re-run the job after reducing the page count. Inforiver now prompts you well in advance if the selected report exceeds the maximum allowable page limit of six. 

• Export scenarios with row and column breaks: The scenario exports can now retain row and column breaks, allowing you to present your scenario results in an organized and clutter-free format. 

• Scenario-based PowerPoint exports with simulations: When exporting your scenarios in PPT, each scenario appears on a separate slide along with the applied simulations. 

• Label change: The option label for compressing large PDF reports has been changed from 'Low Quality' to 'Compressed,' and the 'High Quality' option has been renamed to 'Normal.' 

• Milestones integrated: The subscription summary now presents a more concise event flow, displaying fewer milestones. 

• Detailed error messages: Error logs and messages have been improved for clarity, better understanding, and remediation.
