Distribution Lists

In this article, we will learn how to use distribution lists to effectively manage groups of users with similar needs.

A Distribution List (DL) in Infinity is a logical collection of users that can be managed collectively. DLs allow administrators to streamline access control, reporting, and notifications for groups of users instead of managing permissions individually.

Key Benefits of DLs

1. Assign Permissions to an Entire Group – Instead of assigning permissions to individual users, you can assign them to a DL, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

2. Subscribe Groups to Reports & Alerts – Subscribe an entire DL to scheduled reports and automated alerts, ensuring all relevant users receive updates.

3. Manage Charts & Storyboards for a DL – Assign specific charts and storyboards to a DL to provide access to relevant insights.

Adding a DL to Charts & Storyboards

Once a DL is created, you can add it to a chart or storyboard directly from the sharing page. This allows the entire group to access the content without having to assign permissions individually.

Steps to Add a DL to a Chart or Storyboard:

1. Open the Chart or Storyboard.

2. Navigate to the Sharing Settings.

3. Select the relevant DL from the list.

4. Save the settings to grant access.
