Abstract
The methods and systems of the invention provide for processing of jobs, that comprise one or more reports to be processed in a reporting system, by assigning a priority to a job. The priority may include a queue or a queue set priority, as well as a sub-queue priority in accordance with some embodiments of the methods and systems of the invention. Once the priority is assigned, the job is placed into a selected queue, selected from a plurality of possible queues, based on the queue priority assigned to the job. The job may also be designated to a particular sub-queue within the selected queue, i.e., based on the sub-queue priority. Then, the job is processed based on the priority.
