Not Just Reports

Yes, Sunset Reports is a great report writer, designer, etc. based on the general understanding of what a report writer is.   But the definition of a report in the software goes far beyond the general understanding.   A report can be a…

• standard report usually based on some data source
• document (you can do what most word processors can do)
• presentation (create a slide presentation where each page is a slide)
• web page (save to an HTML file and post on a website)
• Windows form (using the new Windows View)
• interactive interface (using the new Windows View, you can have the user interact with the window with buttons, etc., make a menu)
• data converter (define an output format to export to based on an input data source)
• a software program (using scripts, you can write software in VB.NET C#, JScript .net)

We will explore a couple of these in more detail in future posts.
