You can specify the maximum amount of time a report can
take to generate on a workspace using the Time Limit option.
Specifying a time limit can improve workspace performance
since workspaces are unavailable until reports on the workspace generate.
If a report takes longer to generate than the time limit you specify,
a warning message will display and the workspace will load without
the report.
- From the open workspace or script, click the report control
you want to modify.
- Click the Design tab and click Time Limit.
- Select the Limit Report Execution check box and then enter the maximum number of seconds you want
to permit for a report to generate. You can select a value up to 240
seconds.
- Click OK.
Note: Reports placed on a workspace should be configured
to return data that is related only to the record that is open. For
example, a report on a Contact tab should return information about
the contact rather than all contacts in the database. Reports that
consistently time out in a workspace and cannot be further restricted
should be removed from the workspace and run separately.
