Email bursting is in MicroStrategy

Email bursting is in MicroStrategy 

Email bursting feature allows users to send out personalized slices of a single report execution to a dynamic list of recipients. Prior to MicroStrategy 10, Distribution Services was able to burst page-by slices to file; this capability has been extended to email as well.

Follow the steps below to to burst to email:

1. Build the following report with attributes and metrics
   
   
   Note that the Manager attribute appears in the page-by. Email bursting, like file requires at least one attribute in the page-by. 

       Also, at least one of the page-by attributes should have an email attribute form. 

1. Right-click on the Manager attribute in the page-by and add the Email attribute form. Save the report as “Email Bursting”
   
2. Open the report’s subscriptions in MicroStrategy Web:
   
3. Scroll down to the Email subscription and click the option to “Add email subscription”:
   
4. Choose the schedule by clicking the drop-down and selecting the required schedule.
   
5. Click the “Burst..” icon to expand it:
   
   All page-by attributes will appear in the left hand “Available attributes” column. Users can burst by multiple attributes and each slice will be a separate delivery.
    
6. Click the right-hand arrow to move the Manager attribute to the right-hand column. Then change the “Address form” to “Manager:Email”. The 'Address form' field must always be set to an email attribute form.
   
    
7. After choosing the bursting criteria and the Address form, the To: section should now be grayed out:
   
   Additionally, the “Expand page-by fields” and “Compress contents” options in the “Delivery Format” section should also be grayed out:
   
   This is expected behavior as the “To” field will be filled in dynamically by the Email attribute form chosen in the 'Address form' field. Additionally, since the page-by is used to resolve the email address the option to compress or expand them is disabled.
    
8. Finally, select the check-box to “Send a preview now” and click OK. A preview should be received to the email addresses used by the MicroStrategy Tutorial project.
