Use this function if a report runs too long and WebFOCUS “times out” or if you want to run a report and need to log out of WebFOCUS before the report is complete. In these situations, a report can ”Run Deferred," which places it in a queue and allows you to perform other tasks or exit WebFOCUS while the report is generating.

## Deferring a Report

1. Right-click on the report.
2. From the right-click menu, click **Run Deferred.  **
3. Enter values for parameters, if required.
4. Modify the **Deferred Report Description**, as desired.
5. Click **OK. **
6. Click the **Deferred Report Status** link, as desired.
