Distribution Manager Overview

As an integral part of insightsoftware's Spreadsheet Server, Distribution Manager is a powerful tool used to automate document distribution via email, print, or file archive.

Distributing spreadsheets can be a very time consuming and laborious task. Consider the following issues:

• A workbook has many worksheets, but only select sheets are to be distributed.
• A workbook has external references to other workbooks needed for calculating the proper figures, but linked sheets are not to be distributed.
• Worksheets to be distributed contain formulas derived from a specific Excel add-in (such as Spreadsheet Server), or from a special Excel macro.
• The recipients do not have the add-in or macro installed on their PC.
• Workbooks need to be encrypted to allow or disallow the opening or altering of contents.
• Every reporting cycle, hours are spent organizing, assembling, calculating, copying, and pasting worksheets.

Distribution Manager takes into account each of the above issues and provides users with an easy and time saving solution.

The application assembles distribution controls directly in workbooks. The number of distribution entries is limited only by the number of rows in a spreadsheet. Once the distribution rows are created, users can visually see and manage "who gets what" from each worksheet.
