Update Manual, Once a month (10th days)

Access by All or nothing

Access Approval None

This dashboard contains data and statistics relative to the BW and BO broadcasts (Automatically scheduled reports). It is used by IS teams to :

  • Analyse the broadcasts usage : how many users, how many broadcasts, by zone.
  • Search easily what broadcasts are sent to a person.
  • Search easily if a broadcast exists on a subject (by name, subject...)

Content documentation

Below are the list of some fields which may need explanations :

Topic* : it's a grouping based on the name of the broadcast. The grouping codes can be found in the QV loading script (BWSettings portion for BW and "BOBroadcasts_temp" for BO).

  • Example : All broadcasts containing "order book" in the name will have a topic "Order Book".* Scheduled* field :
  • Yes h1.If Status<>Paused and Recurring = True in BO. In BW scheduled using the standard schedule- Yes - Program Scheduled in BW via the program or process chain. This means that the setting is set as "non scheduled" in the BW administrator workbench but the setting exists in the BW Broadcasts Eroom file.

Example : All the industrial dashboards.

Note that BO instances which are scheduled but with a "PAUSED" status are considered as "NO" Scheduled.

Include IT* field : Based on a hard-coded list of emails and user logins. The list can be found and updated in the QV loading script.
Example : If email h1.davidtonda@ap:rhodia:com --> IT X (IT)
Zone* field : it is based on the email or login receiving the broadcast. Possible values :
AP : if email contains "@ap".
EU : if email contains "@eu".
LA : if email contains "@br".
NA : if email contains "@us".
Publication : if recipiant contains "address" (for BO only).
Eroom : if email contains "@rho" (for BW only).
External : if not in other cases and contains "@"
Inbox : if not in other cases and does not contain "@" (for BO only)
Path* field : For BO only, contains the path ("Folder") of the report.

Updating procedure (Manual)

Files needed before updating

The broadcast dashboard is not an automated dashboard so it means it has to be updated once a month manually. To do that you need 5 files :

  • The * qvw file* (Qlikview Document) "QV Broadcasts Dashboard.qvw". This can be requested to the QV admins.
  • The * O Broadcasts* file "BO Broadcasts.xls" : it contains the information about the BO broadcasts.
  • The * W Settings* file "BW Broadcast Settings_formated.XLS" : it contains the list of all the BW broadcast settings.
  • The * W Emails* file "BW Emails.xls" : it contains the list of emails receiving the broadcasts
  • The * W Eroom Broadcast* file "Broadcast-WBP.xls" : it contains additional information on the BW settings.

Then there is global file (not monthly but replaced each month) :

  • The * ser Master Data file* : this contains the HR (Job, Family, GBU...) and geographical data (Zone, Country, Plant...) of each employee which is linked by email to the broadcast users.

Month Folders

The dashboard loads the data for a set number of months. That is defined in the loading script variable :

Let vNbOfMonths =X;
Where X is the number of months, starting with previous month, that will be loaded.

Ex : If vNbOfMonths = 2 and now is August 2012 then it will attempt to load from folders Jully 2012 and June 2012.

The script will attempt to load the data from folders with the name format MmmYY (Ex : May2012) :

Due to this it is necessary to create each month a new folder and add the files in it.
