h3. Source Filters
If your report uses Source Filters, the Broadcast Report will also be filtered by the Source Filter, as well as whatever filters were defined above. If the report has been sent to an external email address, rather than a defined Yellowfin user, the
recipient
will
inherit the Source Filter from the user who defined the Broadcast.

{color:#CC0000}*Note:*{color} in order for a user to Broadcast a Source Filter report to recipients not defined in the source filter, they will require the following role permission to be enabled.

h2. Delivery Rule
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
A Delivery Rule is used for exception reporting. If you wish to send a report only if it meets certain  criteria (for example: Revenue is less than 100,000) then you will need to add a rule.
# Change the *Always Send* drop down list to *Only if Delivery Rule met*
# Click on the *Click here to add rule* link
# You will now have the choice of building a rule based on:
## If one or more rows match the rule (e.g. is there a transaction less than $1000) OR
## If the totals for the report match the rule (e.g. are the total sales less than $100000)
# Select the field you wish to apply the condition on, click *Add*, and apply your condition. Click *Update* to save it. You can add multiple conditions here if required.
# Click *Save & Close* to apply your condition(s)
# Your rule will now be displayed on the Broadcast window

h2. Schedule
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
The last step is to define the schedule for your Broadcast
# Select the frequency.
Depending on the option selected here, you may be required to provide further details. For example, if Fortnightly is selected, you will be prompted to select either the first or second week of the fortnight to send in, as well as the day of the week.
# Apply Advanced Settings (if required)
Sometimes you may find you need to set the Time Zone, and local time for delivery. This can be accomplished by selecting the *Advanced* check box and defining the time.
