2418819 - Reports Best Practices & Restrictions for Table and Canvas reports

This KBA will cover the following topics:

• Best Practices for Canvas and Table reports
• Hard Limits for Canvas and Table reports
  • What are the timeout rules when running Online or Offline Reports?
  • Are the timeout limits customizable/flexible?
  • What are the row limits in CSV/XLS/XLSX?
  • What is the rows limit for report queries?
  • Why Table reports are taking a long time to start running offline?

Important Note: Since the maximum file size of a report depends on several factors, it's limit is not hard coded. However, any report exceeding 1million rows in the output can be considered a data extraction and might result in timeout issues. The SuccessFactors reporting tools should be used ONLY for generating human readable content. It is not intended nor designed to be used as a tool for data extraction.

If you are planning to run reports larger than 1M rows, please consider using Integration Center tools. Further details available via the Reporting or Integration.
