The Report Suite Countdown dialog box is shown when a report suite is run using the Run at or Delay for options. This dialog box shows the report suite name, description and a countdown. The countdown is shown in HH:MM:SS format. For example, a countdown of 02:15:33 indicates the report suite will begin processing in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 33 seconds.

You will not be able to perform other functions in Tabs3 while this countdown dialog box is shown. However, other users can perform other multi-access functions.

The Cancel button will close the dialog box without running the report suite.

The Run Now button will close the dialog box and immediately execute the report suite. Once the report suite begins processing, each report definition is launched immediately. The Print Control window can be used to check the status of each report.

While the report suite is processing, other functions can be performed in Tabs3.

Note: If you are previewing the report suite (as opposed to printing or saving it), it may not be practical to use other functions in Tabs3 at the same time. This is because each time a new report in the suite is started, a preview window is opened and focus is shifted to the preview window.
