- From the right-click menu, click Run Deferred.

Click the Deferred Report Status link, as desired.
Viewing Deferred Report Status
- Click the Tools menu, from the top right.
- Click Deferred Status, from the drop-down menu.
- From the Deferred Report Status view, you can view your deferred report, as well as options to:
- View: To view results of the report. Note the date & time.
- Save: To save deferred output to My Content.
- Parameters: To modify specific parameters and run again. Notice the report remains setup in deferred status.
