Technical notes

  • Reports are generated in a batch of 100,000 records to improve performance.
  • For .xlsx reports, 1 million records are added per sheet in the Microsoft Excel file.
  • For .json file reports, if there are more than 100,000 records, then the JSON report will not be structured.
