About Distributions

A Distribution is a defined group of one or more recipients and associated Routing Rules. By using Distributions, you avoid the need to manually enter recipients each time you want to send a document to a group. Instead, you can use:

  • Personal Distributions – also called My Distributions, you can create custom distributions for your unique needs. For example, you may have a distribution defined for sending information to people within your company and another distribution for sending information outside the company.

  • Public Distributions – which are created by a system administrator for group use. For example, all members of the marketing group may have a distribution predefined specifically for their use. Or, you can also make your own Personal Distributions available as Public Distributions to which other users can subscribe.

Distribution Collections may also be available. These are collections of Public distributions that a system administrator creates for the use of specific user or device groups. WebApps users cannot modify Distribution Collections, only individual distributions.

Distributions are available on the Embedded Device Client display panel. Personal Distributions require authentication. By default, Public Distributions do not. With either, you can use a single MFP button to instruct the server to send your document to the recipients in your selected distribution.

The My Distributions tile lists your Personal and Public distributions created in WebApps or in the Desktop.

The Subscribed Distributions tile lists all the Public distributions of other users to which you are subscribed.
