A user has the choice of either running a report interactively (ie sitting and waiting for the report to run in the foreground, returning the results directly to the user's current browser window) or running a report as a background process (ie asking the Cognos server to run the report in the background and return the results to a saved output in the content store database for viewing later on, leaving the user's browser session free to do other things in the meantime).

Regards,

MF.
