From "can you send me the file?" to "here's the link"

Hi dear KNIMErs,

you know the drill. You build the report. You send the report. Then the questions start.

one filter, one breakdown, one “wait, can you check that?” at a time…

Congratulations!

You’re not distributing the report. You ARE the report.

I got tired of that. So I built it once in KNIME: three data sources, one dashboard, four charts, a dropdown. Every question that used to land in my inbox now has a tile.

Then I said I was done.

I lied!

I wasn’t. The dashboard lived on my laptop so “sharing” meant screen sharing. I basically rebuilt the bottleneck with extra steps in KNIME. Ouch… 🤨

Video 2 gets it off the laptop and onto the Community Hub in eight steps. Only the first one is hard. And I’ll tell you straight what’s free and what isn’t.

Workflows and sample data are in the descriptions.

Let me know, what you think. Which email report process would you kill first?
