Selecting the Targeted Distribution File

The Targeted Distribution is a CSV file that defines the list of members to burst on, along with corresponding email addresses and users or groups for Library permissions.

To enable the Targeted Distribution File, perform the following:

1. Create a new Bursting Definition or select an existing Bursting Definition in edit mode.
2. Create the Targeted Distribution File using one of the following methods:
   • Click Generate Distribution File to generate and download a bursting CSV file based on the Bursting POV dimension selections.
   • Click Download template (next to Targeted Distribution File) to download and complete a blank template, and create a bursting file using the format described in Using a Targeted Distribution File.

   Note:

   In Narrative Reporting deployments, bursting_file_empty.csv is included with the Sample Management Reports in Samples\Bursting Definitions. For more information, see Using a Targeted Distribution File.
3. Click Select to select a file.

   Note:

   • If you edit an existing Bursting Definition that contains a CSV file already, then the link will be displayed with the File Name.
   • If you want to change the CSV file, click on the File Name, click Browse to upload a different CSV file, either from Local or Library, and then click OK.
   • To download the selected bursting CSV file, click Download Distribution File.
