Automatic e-mail reports

Is there a way I can setup e-mail reports for everyone in project (team) automatically
 
I know every user has the option to setup their own report subscription using their client , but each day we would like everyone to automatically receive an e-mail report summarizing the bugs assigned to them.

Thanks,
Anu

    Hi, 
       I waiting to hear if there is a way to be able to send all the teammates every morning the detailed reports of active bug assigned to them. More like how product studio has
    Thanks,

    I think they want to see bugs assigned to them mailed to them.  Subscribing to one of our reports will automate sending a grouped assigned to report or a workitem list report.  Not sure if a subscription can be made so that one of the filters (assigned to) is set to the subscriber (but it would have to be the string part alias and not the domain\user part).

    This would also be latent data and not something like a morning up to date list of what you have to work on.

    Common macro filters would be a cool feature for our alerts in v2.  Something like scheduling a stored query to be run at a certain time and emailed rather than having something polling like some tools we've seen.

    You will have to write a tool that queries the server every morning by using the Work Item Object Model.  Samples on using this object model for Beta 3 will be available as part of the VS SDK mid-October.  In the mean time, you can check out "Work Item Tracking Object Model Samples.zip" from the Beta 2 Extensibility Kit for some info.  You'll need to register for free at the site.

    Hey Bryan,
       Could you please give me little bit more detail of how can I automate this using object model.
    Thanks,

    The product does not have a feature like this - the notifications feature only allows for emails when the workitem that meets your criteria has changed (UI only provides interface for my workitems changed by others). 

    this could be automated however.  Using the object model, you could iterate the users, do a query assigned to = <user> and then send a mail.  That should run as someone who has permissions to see all the workitems though.

    You can set up report subscriptions in Reporting Services. Navigate to the report in browser (/reports">http://<server>/reports/<project>). Select the report and then press New Subscription.

    How can I  subscribe using Alerts but alerts send mail only, if there any change for the bug. I am looking for the daily e-mail, more like reports.

  • Arier

    The way to do that with only one susbcription is to create an email alias which will include all the Project users and subscribe giving this alias as the email address.
