Report Delivery Preferences

The Report Delivery Preferences page enables administrators to set the preferences related to Reporting 2.0 report delivery. This includes the ability to email a copy of Reporting 2.0 reports and send a copy of Reporting 2.0 reports to an FTP site or user's email address. If FTP site delivery is enabled, the administrator must also specify the FTP site location. The Report Delivery Preferences can be set by division or other master OU. Once these are set, any user within that master OU who has the appropriate permissions can access the report delivery options when creating Reporting 2.0 reports.

The option to send a copy of the report must still be selected when creating a Reporting 2.0 report.
