To export large number of PDF reports using Automation Job Builder

The requirement is to generate around 1000 reports using Spotfire and send them to 1000 different users every month. This can be achieved with Spotfire automation job builder, however in this case we need to create around 3000 tasks (three tasks for each user),this needs to be implemented in a simpler and better way since the count of reports are huge.

When we are hardcoding the values for the filter in the configuration block,reports have to be sent every month and the count of reports may vary and therefore it can be challenging to go through each and every task and remove the tasks for the reports that should not be sent.

Is there any possible way in which we can do this with three tasks such that instead of hardcoding the values for the filter and creating around 3000 tasks, it fetches all the values in the particular column and generates separate reports for each of the values and saves the report in different names in the path and sends it to corresponding users?

    Starting with Spotfire 14.4, you can distribute a single report as multiple, separate PDFs, where visualizations and key indicators are personalized to different target recipients based on selected filter values, bookmarks, and/or document properties. This ensures only the relevant data is shared to each stakeholder, without unnecessary information.
