We have a single monthly distribution of 200+ providers. They want to add 150 more and gave me a file that has both the user id (the key) and the email address. Is there a way to import this file into a distribution list or must all this be keyed in by hand. We are on wf8008.

Thanks!

You can read it in from a file.

Look at the 8008 ReportCaster documentation. If you format the distribution file as described in the section creating an external distribution file you can just reference it directly. You would probably have to set up a second schedule to use this file as the distribution method.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

I looked a little further and the ReportCaster 8008 servlet API has a dstdlbulk function to update an existing distribution list. Here is a link to that documentation. https://infocenter.information...source%2Ftopic44.htm
