# View and Manage Background Reports

After you've set up a report to run in the background, you can view and manage it from the background report exports list.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/images/icon_note.png)

Note Running reports in the background is only supported in the Report Wizard. The Report Builder doesn’t support running reports in the background.

1. From Setup, enter Background Report Exports in the Quick Find box, then select **Background Report Exports**.
    
    The background report exports list appears.
2. View the details of a report exported to the background, such as its name, status, and location, by clicking the name of a report in the Job Name column.
3. To cancel a pending export or to delete a report from the background report exports list, click **Cancel** or **Del** next to the name of a report .
    
    When a report exported to the background finishes running, it’s available for viewing in the background report exports list for 48 hours. After 48 hours, the report is automatically deleted.
    
    ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/images/icon_important.png)
    
    Important Reports deleted from the background report exports list are permanently deleted and _not_ sent to the Recycle Bin.
4. To view any reports that have been exported to the background since you began viewing the background report exports list, click **Refresh List** .
