Report Designer

Reporting is an interactive visual report designer. Data from stored queries shared across a project (Database Views), locally stored queries (User Views) and ad-hoc queries (Data Source Wizard or the Search Grid) can be presented and formatted to meet project and customer requirements.

Reporting is used to create reports, bind them to data, and pass them to other workstations for loading into other instances of Reporting. In addition to report editing capabilities, functionality is available to preview, print and export reports to external files.

Note:
Some features described may differ depending on the version of Reporting in use. This depends on the application vendor.
