The Bulletin Board is a content viewer, where users receive alerts, subscriptions, and publications that have been distributed to them. When configuring Bulletin Board distribution, you'll determine who has access to the shared content by setting user or role security.

Distribution Settings
Distribution
Limit to fully successful results only
Select the Limit to fully successful results only checkbox to prevent automatic distribution where content was not built completely successfully; that is, where a scheduled build "finished with errors" (or is a "Partial Success" in the language of the Task Manager):
- Where this option is not selected (default), the output is built and automatically distributed according to the schedule. The broken item is simply excluded from the output.
- Where this option is selected, the output is built with the missing broken item but it is not automatically distributed. You can still view the built output in the Schedule Manager, but it is not distributed.
Bulletin Board
Content Access
From the Content Access drop-down (green arrow above):
- Select Bulletin Board is Off if you do not want to distribute the scheduled item to the Bulletin Board.
- Select Use Static List to enable content distribution to the Bulletin Board. With this option selected, you will need to select the Roles or Users to distribute your subscription to.
Tip: Publications can also be distributed to a dynamic list on a scheduled basis using the Bulletin Board. For more information, see Bulletin Board Distribution in Publish Pro.
Role Distribution
To distribute to Pyramid user roles, select Roles from the second drop-down (orange arrow above) and then use the checkboxes to select the role or roles that you want to distribute the scheduled content to. The item will be distributed to all users belonging to the given roles.
User Distribution
To distribute the scheduled content to specific Pyramid users, select Users from the second drop-down (orange arrow above). You can do one of the following:
- Type the relevant usernames into the username field, separating each name with a semicolon-separated list.
- Click the Expand icon (blue arrow above) to open the Text Editor and type the usernames as a semicolon-separated list.
Note: Distributing to users, rather than roles, gives you more control over who will receive the content.
