Setting advanced report options for the current run

• The Enable selection-based interactivity check box is selected by default. For information about deselecting this option, see Disable Selection-based Interactivity.

• If you choose to email the report, proceed to the next step.
  Tip: If you have administrator privileges and want to set up the printer for future use, click New printer. You must type the network address of the printer by using the format \\server_name\printer_name for a network printer on a Microsoft Windows operating system installation and printer_name for a UNIX operating system installation or for a local printer.

  When you are done, click OK.

• To send the email to other recipients, in the To:, Cc, or Bcc boxes, type the email addresses separated by semicolons (;).
  Tip: If you logged on, your name automatically appears in the To list box.
• Under Subject, type the subject of the email.
• Under Body, type a message to be included in the email.

  By default, the body of the email is in HTML format, which provides advanced editing features such as font type and size, text color, text formatting and justification, numbers and bullets, indentation, and tables. To use plain text, click Change to plain text.

  Important: To insert HTML format from an external source, you must view the text in a Web browser, and then copy and paste the rendered HTML into the e-mail body. If HTML text is manually typed in the body of the e-mail, the markup is treated as plain text. For security reasons, the email options dialog box accepts a limited set of HTML elements and attributes. If your pasted HTML is not accepted by the validation schema you might receive the following error message: The "VALIDATE" transform instruction could not validate the given XML content.
• To include a hyperlink to the report, select the Include a link to the report check box. To include the report as an attachment, select the Attach the report check box.
• Click OK.

  You can prevent users from including attachments. For more information, see Disable Report Attachments in Email Messages.

If needed, you can change any of the following options that control the internal execution of burst reports on the server.

• Run in parallel

  The burst reports are broken into segments and the different report segments are executed in a series of parallel processes. This type of processing uses a larger percentage of the system capacity and the burst report outputs are produced much faster. By default, this way of bursting reports is enabled and represented by the value of Default. If you set this property to Disabled, burst reports run sequentially in one process, which takes more time.

• Use query prefetching

  This option applies to dynamic query mode only. When this option is enabled, the dynamic query mode packages can prefetch burst report queries when the burst report outputs are rendered. As a result, the burst report outputs are produced much faster because the queries run in parallel with the report rendering. By default, this way of bursting reports is disabled and represented by the value of Default.

• Maximum key limit

  Represents a positive integer that specifies the maximum number of burst keys for each distributed report segment. Depending on the data source type, it might be necessary to set this limit so that complex SQL clauses cannot be generated. The default is 1000. The value of 0 allows for unlimited number of keys. This option is used only when the Run in parallel option is enabled.

For information about globally changing the default burst reports processing options, see Changing the default processing of burst reports.

If you run the report later, the prompt values you provide are saved and used when the report runs.
