Introduction
Introduction
Key issues
Presentation 2003
• Generic application that can connect to any database using ODBC or
customised API.
• Has a query database that contains query information and also a user
database that can be central or local.
• Main query information is; target database information and an SQL
statement. Having a SQL statement is having a fully functional report.
Then query formatting parameters can be defined to get a graph, sub-totals,
cube etc.
• Very easy to change or add a new report.

• Focus on that it should be easy for any user to create and use a report. No
education should be needed.
Introduction
Functionality - Publish and Export data of the report
Presentation 2003
• Quickly preview and print the report without
adjustments from the user.
• Save the report as HTML for publishing on the
Intranet.
• Export the report as PDF for e.g. Acrobat Reader.
• Export the report to EXCEL for e.g. further
analysing. Define post calculation in EXCEL that is
unique for each report.
• Manually or automatically export to MS Access.
• Save result as ADO recordset, micro-cube and other
formats to interact with web solutions.
