In the app you can build a report whose structure was created by yourself or other users. The result of a reporting is data table, whose content is defined by the report structure. Except the exporting to file, you also can save the data of a report build in the application Report Wizard. In this case a row of data table is stored in the app as the document Notes with fields according to the row columns. Besides it, such document contains info identifying the database documents from which data was extracted into the row, columns properties etc.
For local reporting on your computer, do the next:
| • | Open a report properties document or select it in the view Reports; | |
| In the view you can select more than one properties document to build several reports at once. | ||
| • | In the top menu Report Data... make a choice: | |
| • | Choice Create and Export to...; | |
| The choice means the reporting with further exporting of report data to a file at once. Further choose an export type: MS Excel, Tidestone F1 or HTML. If you have chosen several report for building, define a method of placement of their data: At Separate Files ( by default ) or At Separate Sheets of Single File. If you have chosen the second method, in the next window you should confirm or change the path and name of a file to which will be exported all created data. | ||
| • | Choice Create and Save in Application. | |
| Choose to build a report and save its data in the application Report Wizard as documents Notes to use them later. In this case the table with report data will be available for viewing and exporting to file at any time. | ||
Wait for ending of a reporting, its duration depends on the report structure and count of database documents from which data are extracted for the report. At a reporting, the window with progress bars of data processing for each data source in a report is displayed. A reporting will be finished when 100% in progress bar for the first level data source is achieved.
