Rave Reports Visual Designer

Adaptable Reports

One of the biggest problems that designers face when creating reports is adaptability. What is adaptability exactly? First, when a report is created, the process normally takes place on a specific computer, which has one or more printers connected to it. When that report is executed in the field, however, factors such as paper size, orientation and waste areas all come into play. Secondly, reports should allow for a certain amount of flexibility in the overall design and appearance of the layout of the report.

Rave helps overcome these problems by giving the designer access to particular properties of the report. In this section, these properties will be explained in detail and will allow the resulting reports to have a standard look over various platforms. This way, the designer can focus more on creating reports than worrying about deployment difficulties. The reports will also be able to adjust layouts based on external parameters passed in during execution.
