Bulletin Board Distribution
Distribute your publication to the bulletin board and grant security role or user access to scheduled reports via Pyramid. This option is a good choice if you want to share publications with Pyramid users, via the Pyramid application, and have no need to provide the report to non-Pyramid users.
Publications may be distributed to the bulletin board using a static or dynamic list of either roles or users.
Configure the Distribution
From the Schedule panel, open the Distribution window and select the Bulletin Board tab.
Bulletin Board is Off
Select this option to disable bulletin board distribution for the current schedule.
Use Static List
Choose this option to distribute the publication to a static list of roles or users. If sharing with roles, check the relevant user roles from the list.
If sharing with users, type or paste the relevant user names into the Text Editor, separated by a semicolon.
Use Dynamic List
This option is exposed if the publication contains a slicer. Select this option to import a list of roles or users, and dynamically distribute the publication to recipients according to given slicer elements.
Slicer
When configuring a dynamic list, the publication's slicers will appear here; select the slicer whose member elements should be used to render the publication for each role or user.
Mapping Method
The mapping method determines the mechanism by which the publication will be dynamically distributed:
File Mapping: choose this option to upload a distribution list.
Data Mapping: choose this option to distribute according to a dynamic expression.
