I am new to bursting a report from Report Caster. I want to burst a report and distribution it to different users.

I have created the schedule and it run and burst each report to the same email address. I cannot find where I can choose where each burst value should go to (distribute to).

Does anyone knows how to do it in WF 8.0.09?

thanks,

Vera

Look up Burst in the documentation. There are good examples of how this is done. But basically, if you are distributing a burst tabular report, the burst value is determined by the first BY field. If you are distributing a burst graph report, the burst value is determined by the second BY field.

When you right click a report and click Schedule Report, you get a dialogue box. The middle button is Distribution. When you click that, the first item in the Distribution Information is Type: and by default it shows Email Address(s). Click the drop down and pick distribution List.

hi Barbara,

What I don't see if the burst window where I can choose each burst value and then the email address to be sent to.
I don't know why I don't see it.

You have to create a Distribution List before you pick it. On the Content folder you wish to create the list, right click, New, Distribution List. You'll be able to create the pairs of values/emails there. Then Save this distribution list and exit. When you schedule a report and pick Distribution List, click To: and it'll point you to the distribution list you just created.

BTW, my name's not Barbara.

I don't know what's wrong with my RC but I can not see the screen where I can choose the each burst value and then associate it to an email address.

If you don't see Create Distribution List when you right click on a content folder and click New, then your user id doesn't have that permission. You'll have to ask your Admin to go into Security Center, Roles, Edit your Role and look at the Scheduling and Distribution Privileges and make sure Create Distribution List is checked.

Glad it's working now. Could you please update the Topic to say [RESOLVED] so others can use it when they research the same subject?
