MicroStrategy ONE
How to Add and Remove Contacts for a User
A contact is what MicroStrategy users select to subscribe themselves or other users to reports or documents. They do so by selecting a contact name, rather than having to specify email addresses, file storage locations, or printer locations at the time of report subscription. Depending on needs, a user may require multiple delivery locations of different types, such as email addresses, file storage locations, and printer locations. To make it easier to manage all email addresses, and file and print delivery locations for your users, you can create contacts.
For details and examples of contacts and how they work with other Distribution Services features, see Creating a contact in the MicroStrategy Developer help (formerly the MicroStrategy Desktop help).
The Contacts subcategory displays a list of contacts and contact groups that are linked to the selected user. It lets you add existing contacts and contact groups, remove contacts or contact groups, and create new contacts for a user.
