To select a destination for a publication

Enterprise recipients must have "View" rights on a publication to view publication instances. Dynamic recipients do not have a BI account and cannot access the publication instance.
  1. Double-click a publication to open it.
    The "Properties" dialog box appears.
  2. Click Destinations.
  3. (Optional) To avoid storing publication instances on your system, clear the Default Enterprise Location check box under Select Destinations.
  4. Set a low instance limit on the publication object.
    For instructions, see the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform User Guide.
  5. Under Select Destinations, select the check box beside each destination that you want to send the publication to.
    If you want to create a shortcut to the publication, select both BI Inbox and Default Enterprise Location as destinations.
    If the publication will be sent to email recipients and you want to embed a link to the Enterprise location in the email body, select both Email and Default Enterprise Location as destinations.
    The destination you chose appears in the Show options for selected destinations list. If you selected multiple destinations, options appear for the last check box you selected.
  6. If necessary, select a destination to configure in the Show options for selected destinations list.
    Options for the destination appear.
  7. (Optional) To choose a name for the publication, select Use Specific Name, and type a name or select a placeholder in the Add placeholder list.
    If you do not choose a name, a system-generated name is assigned to a publication.
    When the publication runs, a value will be inserted in each placeholder.
  8. (Optional) If you selected Use Specific Name and the publication contains multiple documents to which you want to assign individual names, select the Specific Name per Document check box, and type a name or select a placeholder in the Add placeholder list for each document.
    If you do not choose a name, the same system-generated name is assigned to each document.
  9. (Email only) To embed a link to the Enterprise location in the email body, position the cursor in the Message box, and select Viewer in the Add placeholder list under the box.
    The placeholder %SI_VIEWER_URL% is inserted in the email body. It will be replaced by a link when the publication runs.

    Tip: If you are unable to embed a link, confirm that you selected both Email and Default Enterprise Location as the destination.
  10. (BI Inbox only) Under Send As, click Shortcut to create a shortcut to the publication or Copy to create a copy of the publication.

    Tip: If you are unable to create a shortcut, confirm that you selected both BI Inbox and Default Enterprise Location as the destination.
  11. If you selected multiple destinations, repeat steps 5 to 10 for each destination to select and configure the destination.
  12. Click OK.
