Distributing Reports

In this section:

You use the Distributions ribbon to indicate how to send your reports to the people who need them. You can do this through email, the printer, or an FTP site.

Any scheduled report can also be bursted, which means that an entire report does not go to everyone in the distribution list. A section can be sent to the person who is responsible for that specific area.

To access the Distribution ribbon:

  1. Right-click a specific file by pressing Shift+F10 or your Application key.
  2. Open the New submenu by pressing your Right Arrow key.
  3. Then use your Down Arrow until you hear Distribution list, or you can access this ribbon from the scheduler by selecting the radio button for the Distribution ribbon.
  4. Once you are in the Distribution ribbon, you will have several radio buttons to select from: Save & Close, Delete, Members, and Summary.

    You can use the Members radio button to select and add new members for a distribution list that was already created. Both Add Members and Select Members are buttons which you will activate by pressing your Spacebar.

  5. Once you activate either button, you will use either the Tab key or Shift+Tab to navigate this area of the Distribution ribbon.
