The subscriptions feature enables your organization’s Fundriver Client Administrators to automatically send reports to Department Users (subscribers). The Client Administrator in the main application triggers the reports to run when the results for the posting period are finalized. The Department Users receive an email notifying them each time new reports become available to which they are subscribed to. Depending on the report, the results are filtered using the Department Module criteria.


Please note that we strongly recommend using your own organization's email address for automated emails (Password resets, report subscriptions, etc.). This prevents the automated emails from appearing as spam in your subscribers' inboxes. Since Department User accounts are managed within your organization, this also ensures any replies are directed to your team for assistance. We will have to make this change on our end, so please let us know what email address you'd like to use.  

Your IT department may have to make a modification to the spf record: (include:spf.fundriver.com) to ensure the emails are not treated as SPAM.  If your client’s IT department has questions, please contact your Fundriver Support Team Member.  


Only Client Administrators (not Department Users) can activate the report subscription. During the Department User set up process, there is an option on the ACCESS SETTINGS screen to "Allow Users to Subscribe to Reports." This box must be checked before Department Users will have access to report subscriptions. Once activated, a Department User can choose to subscribe to reports they choose or the Client Administrator can set up the subscriptions for the Department Users.


Please note that only Department Module subscribers have access to the Report Subscription feature.


1. The first step for managing Department User REPORT SUBSCRIPTIONS is making sure your database settings have the feature activated. Navigate to DEPARTMENT USERS > ACCESS SETTINGS and make sure ALLOW USERS TO SUBSCRIBE TO REPORTS box is checked.

Report Frequency:  How often would you like to the Department User to receive this report?

Format:  Would your Department Users like this report in PDF, Excel, or Word?


Select Month:  If you selected Month to Date as the Reporting Period, this tells the system what month to use at the starting month.
