Reporting

The Reporting settings enable administrators to control how reports are displayed and where they are stored within Lucity Web.

Field

Function

Close reports immediately to avoid max processing limit errors (may slow report generation)

This setting causes report connections to be immediately closed after a report page has generated. Crystal Reports limits how many concurrent reports may be open and this will allow more reports open at once. However, it will cause higher CPU utilization and slightly slower report performance because the report must be regenerated for each page. By default, a user's report connections are closed when a user runs a new report and an older report has been open for more than 5 minutes or when the user's web session ends. Reports may also close when the user closes the window displaying the report but this may be unreliable.
