MicroStrategy ONE
How to Specify Email Addresses, File Locations, and Printer Locations
You can set preferences in MicroStrategy Web for where to deliver scheduled reports and documents. Distribution Services can deliver these files to an email address, to a file location on a network, or to a printer location on a network. The following are steps to modify an email address, file location, or printer location to which reports and documents can be delivered.
MicroStrategy Web must be configured to use Distribution Services.
