Saving Report Results: History List

The History List is a folder where Intelligence Server places report and document results for future reference. Each user has a unique History List.

With the History List, users can:

Keep shortcuts to previously run reports, like the Favorites list when browsing the Internet.
Perform asynchronous report execution. For example, multiple reports can be run at the same time within one browser, or pending reports can remain displayed even after logging out of a project.
View the results of scheduled reports.

The History List is displayed at the user level, but is maintained at the project source level. The History List folder contains messages for all the projects in which the user is working. The number of messages in this folder is controlled by the setting Maximum number of messages per user. For example, if you set this number at 40, and you have 10 messages for Project A and 15 for Project B, you can have no more than 15 for Project C. When the maximum number is reached, the oldest message in the current project is purged automatically to leave room for the new one.

If the current project has no messages but the message limit has been reached in other projects in the project source, the user may be unable to run any reports in the current project. In this case the user must log in to one of the other projects and delete messages from the History list in that project.
