This occurs as there is a lot of data to be processed and presented on the report page, but not enough server resource hence resulting in a time out.

For better processing of such reports, ABNERP offers Prepared Reports (since v11). When a report is set as a Prepared Report, it is generated through a background job, and once ready, is available for users to view.

Steps to Set Up Prepared Reports​

  1. Go to Role Permission for Page and Report.
  2. In the field 'Set Role For' select Report.
  3. In the 'Report' field select the report for which you want to enable/disable prepared report.
  4. Use the Disable Prepared Report checkbox to enable/disable the prepared report. If the option is checked, the prepared report option will be disabled for the selected report.
  5. Click on Update.
