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.
