Run large reports in the background so you can keep working in Salesforce without waiting for results to display.
This is a good way to run data-intensive reports that might otherwise time out due to the large
number of report results.

Data
Reports exported to the background run sequentially, one at a
time. Therefore, the latest report exported to the background runs after all reports
previously exported to the background finish running.
You can export an unlimited number of reports to the
background.
Note Running reports in the background is only supported in the Report Wizard. The Report
Builder doesn’t support running reports in the background.
View and Manage Background Reports After you've set up a report to run in the background, you can view and manage it from the background report exports list.
