How do I setup Default Destinations in ATRS?

Default destinations are a convenient feature that allows users to save destination information for schedules that can be reused multiple times without the need to re-enter the same details repeatedly. Here's how to set them up.

Options - Default Destinations

Default destinations saves time and effort by streamlining the scheduling process and ensuring consistency in destination settings across multiple schedules. By setting default destinations, users can easily select pre-defined destinations for their schedules, making the scheduling process more efficient and user-friendly.

Step 1: Navigate to Options.

Step 2: Select Default Destinations.

Step 3: To add a destination click Add

Step 4: Choose the desired destination type from the dropdown menu options.

In this example, a default email destination will be set up.

Step 5: Enter a Destination Name, this will need to be unique. 

Step 6: Complete all the required details of the desired destination.

 

Step 7:  Click OK to save the destination settings

Repeat Steps 3 to 7 for each default destination you wish to establish.

Testing Using a Default Destination

One of the features of ATRS is the ability to set up specific default destination for testing purposes (such as a test folder on the server's C: drive or a testing e-mail address).

To test a schedule using a default destination instead of the schedule's actual destination, perform the following:

Step 1: Right-click on the schedule you wish to test.

Step 2: Click Tools. Then, click Test.

Step 3: Select the destination you want to use from the available Default Destinations list and then click on OK.

 

Sharing Default Destinations

Default Destinations can be assigned to specified user groups. These groups are created in the (User Manager). If you want to "pre-make" a destination so that a certain group of users can only have schedules export to that location, you would do that below:
