Changing W2 Availability Date for SS

Would like to confirm the actions we had to take make W2's viewable in Self Service.  This is our first year using the consent for electronic W2 delivery.

When we initially ran our W2 print process we had the Availability Date set to blank.  We then wanted to make them viewable on 1/22/2019.  We discovered that just changing/entering the Availability Date year end forms options did not make a difference after they were printed.

We had to run the re-print of the W2's to make them available on 1/22/2019 after we entered that as the Availability Date.

Can you confirm that this is how viewing on SS should work?  Is there documentation indicating that if you change the date after the print process, that you have to re-run the print process?
