The Process Manager portal lets you view reports. You can view reports on the Reports page or you can include reports as part of a portal page. For example, the Technician Dashboard page contains several default reports.
When you open a report on the Reports page, all associated report data must be run and complied before the report can be rendered. When you navigate to or refresh a page in the Process Manager portal that contains one or more reports, all associated report data must be run and complied before the page can be rendered.
The more records that a report returns and displays the greater the effect that report has on the performance of the Process Manager. Reports increase the load time of a portal page and may even cause the page to time out.
The following are some ways that you can optimize the performance of your reports and lessen their effect on the performance of the Process Manager:
