Distribution group

A distribution group represents a group of users that you want to send a report to on a regular basis. When you generate a report for which a distribution group was defined, the report is automatically sent to the Print Manager of each user in the distribution group. As an option, you can also have one or more copies of the report automatically print on a designated printer for each user.

Example

Wendy produces a quarterly income statement. She needs to distribute the report to the CFO, who likes to get a copy of the report online, and to the CFO's assistant, who needs a paper copy to file in the department. Wendy set up a distribution group to accomplish both of these tasks automatically when she generates the report.
