Learn how to use the Queue button in WebReports to execute reports and store them in the Completed section with flexible export options.

Why Use Queue?

The Queue button works similarly to the Download button but with added flexibility. Instead of choosing a file format before execution, users can view and export the report later from the Completed section—without needing to re-run the View.

✅ Tip
Use Queue when you want to preview the report before choosing an export format. This is especially useful when you may want to export to different file types without reprocessing the report.

Where Can You Queue a View?

The Queue button is located on the Available Reports page under the Reports tab in WebReports.

Article Summary

The Queue button in WebReports provides a flexible way to execute reports and store them for later access in the Completed section. Unlike the Download button, which requires choosing a file type up front, Queue allows users to preview and export reports afterward. This streamlines workflows, especially for users who need to export the same report into multiple formats. It also provides a clean, efficient method to manage report access without redundant executions.
