SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView User's Guide

Destination options

If you wish to specify options for an object that you are scheduling to a destination (for example, the names of users who should receive the instance in their inbox; the addresses of email recipients, or an FTP server to which you want the instance uploaded), you must enter some destination information that will differ depending on the destination you have chosen.

Note: These destinations must be configured on the servers that run scheduling jobs. To find out if they are configured on your deployment, contact your BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator.
