Data sources contain information such as email addresses, filter values, destinations & format settings, SAC story IDs and model names, dimension names, which are used to drive the bursting process. Data sources can be made public and shared with an authorized group, or kept private for personal use, or in preparation for sharing with a group.

Shared & Private Folders

Public folders enable authorized user groups to collaborate in building bursting definitions and broadcasting content. Private folders allow individuals to build their own bursting definitions for either personal use or in preparation for sharing with a group.
