# DistributionConfig

One distribution entry inside a `DistributionRequest`, pairing document-generation settings with delivery-channel options.

> **Compilation status:** This type is defined in `Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls\DistributionConfig.cs`, which is present in this library's source directory but is **not** listed in the `<Compile>` item group of `SAIF.BOF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls.csproj`. It is a source-included artifact and is not part of the compiled `SAIF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls` assembly's public surface.

## Purpose
- Describe how one generated document should be rendered and delivered.
- Carry recipient and scheduling metadata alongside channel-specific options.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| DocumentConfig | `public DocumentConfig DocumentConfig { get; set; }` | Document-generation settings (package, output profile, recipient class) that identify what should be rendered for this distribution entry. |
| DistributionOptions | `public DistributionOptions DistributionOptions { get; set; }` | Delivery-channel selection (imaging, print, email, fax, etc.) describing how the rendered document should be sent. |
| DistributionGroup | `public string DistributionGroup { get; set; }` | Groups related distribution entries together for downstream batching or reporting.* |
| RecipientName | `public string RecipientName { get; set; }` | Display name of the recipient the document is being distributed to. |
| DistributionTime | `public DateTime? DistributionTime { get; set; } //if empty, do immediately...` | Scheduled send time for the distribution; `DocumentApiCall` always leaves this null to request immediate distribution ([BR-AAC-012](../../../../../../business-rules.md#br-aac-012-null-distribution-time-means-immediate-distribution)). |

## Behavioral notes
- A null `DistributionTime` is used by this library for immediate distribution.

## Constraints and usage notes
- The library's live flow populates exactly one instance per `DistributionRequest`.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
