nuBuilder Forte can create PDF Reports from the data stored in its database.
To do this we need 3 things.
- Data in a table.
- A nuBuilder Form where the user can define what information will be in this table - generally a Launch Form.
- A Report designer.
These Reports will allow the user to do things like..
- Share information with others.
- Help make business decisions.
- Create invoices.
- Print graphs.
Creating a Report
Code
A unique Code for this Report
Description
The description of this Report
Group
A field that can be used to help organise Reports.
Table
A Table can be created in 2 different ways.
- A SQL statement created with the SQL Builder that will create the table.
- A PHP Procedure that can create the table and manipulate it before it is used by a Report.
This Lookup contains both of these types.
All of the SQL records have 'SQL' as their code.
Launch From
A Launch Form will allow..
- The user to define the information to be stored in the table (to be used by the report).
- Run the Report from an Action Button at the top of the Form.
