Reports Progress and Downloads
Reports and exports can take a while to build. Rather than holding you on the page, Cascade runs them in the background and collects them in Reports Progress.
Opening it
Click the inbox icon in the lower group of the left-hand rail. The panel opens over the page you are on — you do not have to navigate away.

How jobs get here
Anything you start with + Generate on the Generated Exports page appears in this panel. So do reports triggered from elsewhere in the platform. You can navigate freely, switch modules, even switch company — the job keeps running.
Reports Progress or Generated Exports?
Use Reports Progress while a job is in flight and for the handful you have produced most recently. Use Generated Exports when you want the permanent register — everything ever produced, filterable by creator, facility, name and date, with the same download links.
Think of Reports Progress as the printer queue and Generated Exports as the filing cabinet.
