Manage Receivers

Receivers are the inboxes or folders for the MFT application for your account where all the data collected by SDC is sent. You can setup different inboxes in MFT for receiving data from different programs and at different frequencies. This enables your organization to keep the data segregated from different programs as well as implement different data processing rules on individual inboxes.

To add Receivers to a program:

  1. On the Programs page, click the name of the required program.
  2. On the Program Setup tab, under Receivers, click Add.
  3. On the Add Receiver page, enter a unique Name for the receiver.
  4. Select a value from the drop-down Submission Channel. The options are Form and Upload.

    When you choose Form, SDC allows you to further select forms for which receivers can be added and transmissions created.

  5. Under Transmission Settings, select a value from the drop-down. You may choose to create transmissions as an when submissions are received or you can schedule them. When you choose to schedule a transmission, SDC aggregates all the submissions received by Schedule Time into a single transmission.

    For a scheduled transmission:

    1. Select a value for Schedule Time.
    2. Select a Time Zone.

  6. In Delivery Location (MFT Inbox), SDC sends the data to the predefined MFT inbox: sdc.transmissions. However, you can define the sub-folders in this inbox as well. To do this, enter a name for the sub-folder at the following path: \incoming\sdc.transmissions\edifecs\ subfolder name
  7. Click Save.
