Report Render Engine
The report render engine takes in data set and report layout definition as inputs, then renders and produces the report output.
The report render engine is based on Component One.
The report render engine is a .NET solution: the report render engine can only run on the Windows operating system.
The rendering process takes place on the computer that actually runs the report. If you run a report in the QAD .NET UI on your PC, then your PC’s CPU power is consumed to render the report, which helps to distribute the processing load across client machines.
