Green philosophy
The first time you generate a report after logging in , it can take some minutes to generate the report - This is because the machines needed to generate the report need start-up again after they have gone into an idle mode. Putting the machines in Idle mode conserves energy and calculation time time on the servers for other processes. Once the servers are up , the report generation is super-quick!
- The first report you create at any day will take a few minutes to generate - this is because we are spinning up some severs to create the report - the reports that are being generated withing the next hour will be ready almost instantly!
- Whenever a report is being generated you can navigate away from the page; whenever you come back to the page or the ALIS instance the report will be ready for you to download.
