Send updates quarterly
Answered
We have a couple of recipients who have expressed a preference for receiving data quarterly rather than monthly. Would it be possible to add a quarterly option to the destination set-up?

Hi Sylvia Pegg,
The team are currently looking at the feasibility of including this feature, and in the meantime it'd be great if we could have some more detail.
The difficulty with receiving updates quarterly is that there may be a significant lag between updates to your metadata, and those updates being reflected by those receiving updates quarterly. Can we ask why they wish to receive them so infrequently?
Many thanks,
Sophie

Hi Sophie,
There are a few different reasons:
- where recipients are processing data manually and would prefer to receive fewer larger files than multiple small ones
- where only a small number of data fields that don't generally change are used by the recipient
- where titles are only added to their catalogue infrequently (e.g. annually or less often)
- where recipients get incremental feeds daily but would like a full feed occasionally
Hope that helps,
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia Pegg,
The team have taken a look at the development required for this request, and due to the time that it would require, it is not something that we are able to prioritise currently.
To make this a priority, we would need to attach a cost of £450 to account for the time spent by our developers.
Do let me know if you would like to proceed with this cost.
Best wishes,
Sophie
