MicroStrategy ONE

Specifying the delivery options available to users subscribing to a document

You can determine which delivery options are available to users subscribing to a specific document. For example, you can specify which delivery schedules can be used to subscribe to the document, or prevent users from subscribing to the document altogether.

If an existing document subscription uses a schedule or document that has been made unavailable for subscriptions, the document will not be delivered.

For general information on subscribing to reports and documents, see the MicroStrategy Web Help. For steps to specify the delivery options available to users subscribing to a report, see the Building Query Objects and Queries, for Designers chapter in the Basic Reporting Guide. Restricting the delivery schedules available when subscribing to a report does not affect the delivery schedules available for documents that use the report as a dataset.

You can create new schedules in the MicroStrategy Developer Schedule Manager. For steps, see the Scheduling Jobs and Administrative Tasks chapter in the System Administration Guide.

To specify the delivery options available to users subscribing to a document

  1. In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in Design or Editable Mode.

  2. From the Tools menu, select Document Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.

  3. From the left, under Document Properties, select Advanced. Select one of the following options under Schedules for Subscriptions:

    • To prevent users from subscribing to the document, select the Do not allow this document to be scheduled option.

    • To allow users to subscribe to the document using any schedule associated with the MicroStrategy project in which the document is stored, select the Allow users to subscribe to all schedules option.

    • To specify the list of schedules users can select from when subscribing to the document, select the Only allow users to subscribe to schedules in the list below option. Schedules in the Selected list are available to users. Select a schedule from the Available list and click the Add icon to move it to the Selected list.

      Administrators can determine which schedules are included in the Available list. For more information, see the Web Administrator Help.
