Running Deferred Reports

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. For additional information on deferred reports, see Using the Deferred Report Status Interface.

Any output from a deferred report can be saved. When you save output from a deferred report, it will be saved in the My Reports folder of the respective domain. If the domain of the deferred report is restricted not to allow the creation of My Reports, select another domain from the Save in drop-down menu in the Save dialog. If there are no domains listed, contact your Managed Reporting Administrator to obtain authorization to save My Reports to a domain.

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