Server Apps: Option to expose 'Email results to' parameter

This 'Email results to' box should really be present in the FME Server App interface. This is default functionality when running logged in in the FME Server web application. For apps that run for a long time, not being able to provide an email address is a major downside for using FME Server Apps.

Being able to choose when sharing as an app would be nice, but my main concern is the availability at all. We would like to use the Apps mechanism, but this is a big show stopper.

It's not only because a workspace may run longer than a browser usually should wait for a response but also because engines (licenses) are limited.

If there is a long active queue on the server the user of an app can't expect his workspace to run immediately after having been started.

Thanks @hollymcoxon for adding this after my support ticket back in October :) This doesn't seem to have been implemented yet in 2020.1 but now that you can force a server app to require login (I don't believe that option existed at the time), once could potentially still use a workspace that automatically emails an attachment to the logged in user. Will now test to verify the above...thanks for adding (just voted as I completely forgot!)

That doesn't work actually because the server app uses a token associated with the user account that created the app in the first place. The "require login" option is to allow that user to run the app, but it still runs as the original user that sets it up, not as the user that authenticates.

Yeah - just came across this issue. Would be great to have this as an optional input. Seems like a pretty easy option to include.
