The DSA Cloud AD process is offered as a service by DataSelf from a ‘cloud’ server. Customers have several levers of control over the cloud based automatic distribution process:
-
Ability to change and maintaining the settings in their Report & Distribution Commands tables.
Each table represents a batch of Tableau reports, filters, email distribution lists and other settings. -
Run-on-demand. For testing or other purposes, ability to run a Report & Distribution Commands table at any time, outside the scheduled run times.
The customer should designate an employee that will maintain the Report & Distribution Commands as needed to add or remove recipients, add new reports to the schedules and run the batches manually when necessary.
Questions for New Cloud AD Users
-
Who will be controlling the AD process? What are their email addresses?
-
Where (on what computer) should the ETL+ (or in some cases Devart for Excel) be installed so that these users can access it? It should be somewhere with a fixed IP.
