# Report Bursting

In a large enterprise reporting deployment, it is important to handle both large amounts of data as well as a large number of users. Report bursting enables running a report once and distributing the report results to multiple recipients who each will receive a subset of the report results.

Bursting reports can be distributed to e-mail or FTP addresses, to disk, to the JReport versioning system, or to the security system members such as users, groups, and roles.

This chapter explains what a bursting report is and how to design a bursting report in JReport Designer. For details about how to submit a scheduled task which contains a bursting report and viewing the status of the bursting task and stopping it, see Scheduling a task containing a bursting report in the JReport Server User's Guide.
