Distribution Tab of the Schedule Dialog Box

Use the Distribution tab to select a processing queue, submit a profile, place a process on hold, or set up an alert so that you receive an email when a process runs.

The fields and options on this dialog box vary, depending on where you open the dialog box in Vantagepoint.

Contents

Field	Description
Start After	Select the date and time after which you want to run the job.
Process Queue	Select the queue for which you are submitting the job.
Queue Status	This field displays the status of the queue, such as Running, Hold, or Waiting.
Description	This field displays the name of the profile, which you can change.
Submit to a Profile	Select this option to add this job to an existing or new profile. A profile is a group of jobs that can be organized and submitted as a single job to a process queue.
Place Process On Hold	Select this option to place a job on hold. If you select this option, and a user clicks Run for the same job, the job will not be sent to the process server. The job must be released before it can be run, even when a "start after" date and time has been specified. This option is useful for providing a visual reminder about a job that needs to be run at a future point in time. It is also useful for processes that need further authorization from the Vantagepoint administrator, or for reasons of resource availability or data security.
Email Me When Done	Select this option to have Vantagepoint send you an email message (alert) to indicate whether or not the submitted job completed successfully. Vantagepoint uses the email address specified in the Employees hub record of the employee who is currently logged in. This option is useful if you have certain types of jobs for which an alert is desired, but not necessarily for all types. For example, you may want to be notified when reports are done printing but not want to receive a process alert for any other process.
Send Me a Notification When Done	Select this option to have Vantagepoint add an item to the Notification Center to indicate if the submitted job was completed successfully. To view the Notification Center, click the number that displays in the menu bar. For example, would indicate there are 5 notifications. This option is useful if you have certain types of jobs for which an alert is desired, but not necessarily for all types. For example, you may want to be notified when reports are done printing but not want to receive a process alert for any other process.
Create Report Archive	If you want to create an archive copy of the report, select Create Report Archive, and enter the number of hours you want to save the archived report in the Archive Hours field that displays. The option to archive reports is only available if you are using the Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition of Microsoft SQL Server.
Export Report as Files	Select this option if you want to export the report in a file and save it for reuse (printing, emailing, and so on). Depending on the file type, your browser settings determine how the file is opened. For example, if the file type is an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF), the PDF may open in a browser tab or in Adobe Acrobat.
Email Report	Select this option to distribute a report as an email attachment or to send a link to the report in an email message
