MicroStrategy ONE

Specifying the delivery options available to users subscribing to a report

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

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

For general information on subscribing to reports and documents, see the MicroStrategy Web Help. For steps to specify delivery options for users subscribing to a document, see the Formatting Documents chapter in the Document Creation Guide.

You can create new schedules in 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 report

  1. In MicroStrategy Web, click the name of the report to run it.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Report Options.

  3. On the Advanced tab, select one of the following options under Schedules for Subscriptions:

    • To prevent users from subscribing to the report, select the Do not allow this report to be scheduled option.
    • To allow users to subscribe to the report using any schedule associated with the MicroStrategy project in which the report 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 report, select the Only allow users to subscribe to schedules in the list below option.
