Procedure
...
1. In the Web application, click on Send.
The Broadcasting Wizard appears; it guides you step-by-step through the required settings.
2. Select output format MHTML.
The system creates an MHTML file. All components (HTML, style sheet, pictures, and so on) of the entire HTML page are in one file. This output format is suitable if you want to generate one single document and broadcast it by e-mail or to the portal.
3. Choose Continue.
4. Enter the e-mail addresses of the recipients, separated with semicolons.
5. Enter a subject line and text, and define the importance of the e-mail.
6. Choose Execute.
Choose Continue for further steps in the Broadcasting Wizard with which you can save and schedule your broadcast settings. You do not need these additional steps if you want to execute the broadcast settings directly.
Result
You distributed the Web application by e-mail to the specified recipients, who receive an MHTML file containing the Web application. The data has the version at the time when the e-mail was sent. The data in this document cannot be subjected to a further analysis.
The Broadcasting Wizard allows various types of distribution, such as distribution to the portal, scheduling of the time of distribution, and creating different output formats. For example, distributing online links gives the recipients access to current data and an additional data analysis.
