Introduction to the QAD Reporting Framework
Reports help you analyze and interpret important information. The QAD Reporting Framework makes it easy to create simple reports, and it also has the comprehensive tools you need to produce complex or specialized reports.
Multiple Data Sources
The QAD Reporting Framework is designed to produce the report you want from a range of data sources. You can extract data from Progress databases, browses, or through the QAD Financials API for reporting purposes.
Powerful and Flexible Report Authoring
The QAD Reporting Framework offers you both simplicity and flexibility in creating your reports.
The built-in Report Wizard guides you step by step through building basic reports and completing common reporting tasks. A rich set of report design tools lets you create more complex reports tailored to your specific requirements.
Columns, groups, calculated fields, subreports, and formatting help make sense of data and uncover important relationships that might otherwise be hidden.
Multiple Output Formats
The flexibility of the QAD Reporting Framework does not end with creating reports. Your reports can be published to a variety of outputs including printers, PDFs, and Excel files.
Report Scheduling
You can schedule the system to run your reports automatically at a certain time or at a specified interval and send scheduled report outputs to your desired destination, such as a printer or the document service on the report server. You can also have the system notify you that your scheduled reports have run.
