- In a Linux application, a report can be saved in a PDF file.
- In WEBDEV, a report can be saved in a file (HTML or PDF), sent by email, displayed in the browser of the Web user or printed on a printer connected to the server, ...
- In WINDEV Mobile:
- In an iOS application, a report can be saved in a PDF file.
- In an application in Universal Windows App mode, a report can be saved in a PDF file.
- In an Android application, a report can be saved in a PDF file.
What are the elements of a report? A report includes: - blocks that define the different sections of the report (for more details, see Report blocks).
- controls in which the report data is displayed (for more details, see Report controls).
A report can be used to summarize and synthesize data. You can: - group data,
- sort data according to any criterion,
- perform calculations (means, statistics) or create charts,
- display the data in several columns.
