Distributing Data Entry Forms

About distributing data entry forms

You must distribute a data entry form to all users who will use the form to enter data. You can distribute data entry forms to any type of user: administrator, budget, analyst, or external.

Distributing associated objects

When you distribute a data entry form, its dimension values, hierarchies, and model must also be explicitly distributed. If only a subset of the dimension values are distributed, then only that subset will appear when the form is viewed in the Web interface.

If the data entry form includes a solve definition, the solve is automatically distributed with the form. However, if the solve includes a model, you must also distribute the models or hierarchies associated with the solve.

If you have added the form to a folder, you must distribute the folder.

Procedure: Distributing a data entry form

To distribute a data entry form, select Distribution, Distribute Structures from the Manage menu. Then choose Data Entry Form as the structure to distribute.
