Running Deferred Reports

How to:

A deferred report is a report that you can run as a background task, while continuing other work. You can view information about a deferred report in the Deferred Report Status interface window. The window indicates the time the report was submitted and whether the report was completed, and provides Delete, View, Save, and Parameters options.

Any output from a deferred report can be saved if you are permitted to save content to the My Content folder or a private folder. Contact your Managed Reporting Administrator to obtain authorization to save private content.

Note: When accessing a Public View of Dashboard, the deferred reports option is not available.
