Create Dazzling reports with Charts, tables and mapping features
Business professionals need the ability to quickly and efficiently produce both ad hoc and graphical reports to manage their business. RM 7.0 enhances the current reporting capability with new charts, tables, calendars and mapping features.
Generate Advanced Report Layouts – Using RDL Technology
RDL reports are like a continuous roll of paper. You can use multiple report components in one page (traditionally impossible without sub-reports) and multiple data sources in one report. The continuous page is useful when you don’t know how much data there will be. It runs through the data rows until it’s finished. This is a great option for long tabular reports such as general ledgers.
Page Reports – Layout Driven Reports
In page reports, pages act as containers. Each page can be a copy of the first or a clean page. Data that overflows your tables or other data regions can span pages, but you control the layout of each page and specify where the overflow data goes with a placeholder. This report type is great for billing statements, mail merge, catalogs, forms, and other reports with layout constrictions.
