Bursting is the process of running a report once and then sending the results to recipients, each of whom sees only a subset of the data. Distribute reports by bursting them when you want users to receive or view reports that contain data applicable only to them.
If you distribute burst reports by email, the recipients are specified by the burst options. Note that if you choose the recipient from a list, such as a group, role, or distribution list, you must have read access to both the list and the recipient’s email account. Otherwise, the report delivery fails.
If the burst report contains a drill-through link to another report and the burst report is distributed by email, set the email options to include a link to the report. Otherwise, if you include the report in the email, the drill-through links in the burst report will not work.
You can burst reports only if the report author defined burst options for the report.
You can use advanced run options to distribute a report by bursting.
You must have read and write permissions for the report to enable bursting.
