Performance: Reporting Server - *On hold as of release on 9/14/2022*

  • Adding resources to meet the increasing demands of an expanding customer base
  • Analytics, some data exports, and other data processing will run on a dedicated reporting server. This will free up resources for data entry, imports, and searches since they will not be competing with analytics and exports.
  • The reporting server is configured for retrieving and processing information quickly. It’s purpose built for analytics so that Compylations, Calculations, and Scorecard Feeds will load more quickly even with the new features being added to those areas.
