For What is the Tree Used?

The tree acts as a repository of potential report recipients for Control-D managed output. Before output can be assigned to a user, the user must be defined as a recipient in the tree.

The tree is used extensively by Control-D for decollating purposes (described in Phase 3). In your report decollating missions, you determine the users to which Control-D should direct the report output. The recipients that you specify must exist in the tree.

The tree also provides a simplified method of grouping users’ reports together into printed bundles. You can specify delivery address information and select options that control the format of the recipient’s printed bundles. The printing missions you define (described in Phase 4) will use the tree to bundle up the report output for the users.

If you are supplying the Online Viewing facility to users, the tree is used to determine which users can see which reports. Users cannot view report output unless they are so authorized in the tree.
