==== Run Now/Run Report (New Tab) ====
If the **Run Now** option is selected then BIPLUS runs the report in same tab replacing the previous report. **Run Report (New Tab)** option runs the report and opens it in a new tab. This way you can open multiple reports in a same BIPLUS window. 

==== Schedule Report ====
 Clicking this option opens the Schedule dialog. This way you can directly schedule the report without running it.

==== Add to Favorites ====
Reports which are most frequently-used can be added to **Favorites** list. Right-click on a report and select **Add to Favorites** option.
