Report Data Sources
Before you create a report, you need to determine where your report data comes from. The QAD Reporting Framework supports three types of data sources: generic proxy (Progress program), browse, and QAD Financials API. Depending on which type of data source you use, you might need to perform some additional implementation steps.
Note: It is even possible to create a new data source type to connect to other stores of data. This would require writing a .NET implementation of the IDataSourceProvider interface.
