Features for Users

Report Preview Features

In addition to report design features, such as design schemes, designer objects, Web Designer, and assistants, features in the preview are also highlighted. This way you can check whether, for example, collection variables, collapsible regions or interactive sorting are available. Licensing and ways to distribute a report designer along with your application are another important point. Some reporting tool providers charge additional runtime fees in this case, others don’t.

Fees per installed designer may be difficult to predict in advance. But if the designer can be distributed without any additional fees, the overall cost is much more transparent. If your business case requires the ability to design reports yourself and make them available to users for a fee, you’ll benefit from a designer that offers the features to implement all the design requests yourself.

Barcodes and Charts in the Reporting Tools

Barcodes for Your Applications

Many documents and reports require barcodes. Therefore, a large selection of different barcodes is mandatory. The more barcodes that are supplied, the more confident you can be that your users will always be able to use the required one, e.g. EAN, Codablock F, or MicroPDF417. Is it created directly from the reporting tool? Or do special fonts have to be installed for it?

Charts – The More, The Better

Even the type and amount of charts plays a role. Most tools have standard charts such as the bar chart, line chart, and pie chart. It gets even more challenging if you’d like to offer your users Gantt, treemap, or waterfall charts. Compare the output formats in the list of reporting tools as well! Your users save time-intensive conversions, if they can directly export into the needed output format, e.g. PDF, SVG or XHTML.
