Chapter 14. Report distribution 323
Use the reference field to control when a report is available for distribution. The value that you 
enter in this field is used with a marked index column in the Content Manager OnDemand 
application group. When a reference value is available, the reference value is matched with 
the index value of the report. If a match exists, the report is made available for distribution. 
This tool is useful if several drafts of a report exist and you want to distribute only the final 
version.
14.2.4  Adding a distribution
Now that the recipients and report IDs are set up, it is time to create the distributions. In the 
distribution definition, you specify when, where, and how the distribution is delivered. In our 
example, we create a distribution that is processed while the documents are loaded. The 
output is sent as an email. For a sample distribution definition, see Figure 14-8.
Figure 14-8   Adding a distribution
Distribution Name
With the recipient or recipient list name, the distribution name uniquely identifies the 
distribution. For our example, we name this distribution CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS.
Recipient/List
Choose your recipient. For our example, we add the newly created recipient from the 
drop-down menu.
Status
Two values are valid for status:
/SM590000Active indicates that the distribution is processed while the documents are loaded.
/SM590000Inactive indicates that the distribution is not processed while the documents are loaded.
