Release Focus

Asynchronous Reports for Switchboard

Reports for Switchboard have been added to the asynchronous framework to improve performance when downloading large reports. This framework allows reports to be run asynchronously, so that the user may navigate to other pages while the report is created in the background.

These reports can be accessed from Switchboard -> Setup -> Reports -> Downloads. The following reports have been include in the update:

• Proposal Summary
• Scorecard Summary
• Action Items Summary
• Action Items Detail

More details about asynchronous reports can be found here.
