 State-of-the-art web applications are supposed to manage and present data in a wide variety of formats, complemented with animation and customized graphical styles and layouts. For this reason it is virtually impossible to do this with traditional report generating software products such as Crystal Reports and Jasper Reports. The logical model of pages supported by these tools is a "flat" sequence of sections located one underneath another and whose data are pulled from a simple source with a low degree of interaction and no animation at all.
Given these major drawbacks, we have opted for the integration of a web report generating tool within Instant Developer. Its main features are as follows: desktop publishing modeling, animation and interactivity of all page items, programmability integrated to the development environment, layout customization, ease of use.
The result has been surprising. There is no page layout which is out of reach, including liquid layouts. All the data which users need to display and manage can coexist within the same page due to the properties of master page design as well as the interaction between several different data sources.
All elements are interactive. Report data can be edited, objects can be activated or extensive drag & drop process can be used. Each item can be associated to programming events linked either to user events or viewing preparation events. In addition, multi-level reports can be created and the most popular web chart engines can be used. Page scrolling is animated and pages can be exported in PDF format in an instant.
