A report provides a custom view of a set of data. This data can come from a database, a text file, a Table control, etc. Reports can be displayed on the screen, saved in an HTML file, printed, etc. A report can be used to summarize and synthesize data. You can: - group data.
- sort data based on different criteria.
- perform calculations (means, statistics) or even create charts.
The diagram below illustrates the concept of reports: - the data to be printed comes from a data source (data file described in an analysis, HFSQL view, query, memory area or text file).
- the report groups, sorts and formats the data.
- the report can be represented on the screen, as a file (HTML, RTF, etc.) or sent to a printer.
