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. In Targeted Distribution File, click Select...

   Note:

   In Narrative Reporting deployments, the following Sample Targeted Distribution files are included with the Sample Management Reports:

   • bursting_file_segments.csv

   • bursting_file_empty.csv

   In EPM Cloud deployments, create a bursting file using the format outlined in Using a Targeted Distribution 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.
