About Distribution Collections

You can create Distribution Collections and associate user-created distributions to these Distribution Collections. You can then associate Distribution Collections with the Public Distributions button of specific device groups (via the device group properties). Distribution Collections can also be associated to individual user groups, allowing multiple groups to access specific Distribution Collections.

Note: Distribution Collections can be assigned to the Public Distribution button for default access by non-authenticated users. Authenticated users can have access to the Distribution Collections associated with the Public Distribution button, as well as the Distribution Collections associated with their user group.

Distribution Collection Requirements

Review the following requirements before working with Distribution Collections.

  • It is recommended that you plan the configuration of your organization’s Distribution Collections before beginning these procedures. Consider which distributions will be public, where each is stored, their destinations, etc.

  • Distributions and user groups must already be created within the system.

  • The current Embedded Device Client as provided with the system is installed.

  • If you are configuring an existing environment, it is recommended you note whether public distributions are already enabled for devices. This is set in the Options tab of the Button Properties for a given device, at the Enable Public Distributionsfor the following user field.
