Linking a report definition to a distribution list

You must link a report definition for a basic or custom report to a distribution list to automatically distribute the report during automatic printing or reprint operations. If necessary, you can link a dynamically-generated report definition for a basic report to a distribution list. The distribution list specifies the recipient IDs for the persons or locations to receive the report. (You cannot link a report directly to a recipient ID.)

Procedure

  1. From the Output Manager main menu, choose A, Administrative Functions.
  2. From the Administrative Functions menu, choose option C, Custom Reports. The Report Definitions panel is displayed.
  3. In the CMD column, type E (Edit) next to the report to which you want to link a distribution list. The Report panel is displayed.
  4. From the Links pull-down menu, choose option 2, Choose a Distribution List, and press Enter.
    The Distribution List Selection pop-up window is displayed.
  5. In the CMD column, type S (Select) next to the distribution list that you want to use, and press Enter. A forward slash (/) is displayed next to the selected list.
  6. Press F3 (Exit).

    The Report panel is redisplayed. The Distribution field displays the name of the distribution list that you selected.
