Managing Subscriptions

Once you subscribe to a report or document, from the My Subscriptions page, you can edit the settings, schedule, expiration date, and file format for the subscription. If you create a subscription with multiple recipients, you can specify different subscription settings for each recipient and allow recipients to manage their own subscriptions.

If you have administrative privileges, you can manage subscriptions using a Command Manager script. Command Manager is a MicroStrategy tool designed to automate certain tasks and processes. For more information, see the Command Manager chapter of the System Administration Help.

Settings for an individual recipient overwrite settings at the subscription level. For example, you can create a subscription to send multiple recipients a report via email but specify that one member of the subscription receive the information as a link to the History List instead.

You can determine whether recipients are allowed to change their own subscription settings, such as the ability to unsubscribe.

You can specify the following options:

• Allow recipients to change delivery settings: Allow the subscription member to change subscription delivery settings, such as the expiration date of the subscription.
• Allow recipients to change personalization: Allow the subscription member to view and change personalization settings, such as prompt answers for the report or document.
• Allow recipients to unsubscribe: Allow the subscription member to unsubscribe from the report or document.
