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