Report bundles

Report bundles are part of a distribution and are uniquely identified by the Distribution Name, Recipient/List, and Sequence number. Distributions are uniquely identified by the Distribution Name and Recipient/List.

When you create an ODF report bundle, the values for the report bundle fields can inherit values from the corresponding distribution fields of the distribution you selected. To make the report bundle inherit values from the distribution, when you create the report bundle, leave those fields blank. For example, if you want the report bundle to inherit the value of the Destination field of the distribution, when you create the report bundle, leave the Destination field blank. If you do not want the report bundle fields to inherit values from the corresponding distribution fields, then specify values for the report bundle fields when you create the report bundle. The values that you enter in the report bundle fields override the values from the corresponding distribution fields.

For all optional parameters, you have two choices:
  • Leave them blank. During processing, ODF inherits the values that you specified for these parameters when you created the distribution. If a value is changed in the distribution, the value in the report bundle does not need to be changed.
  • Specify values for them. ODF uses the values that you specify for these parameters and overrides the values from the distribution.
