Report Authoring and Design

• Simplified visual designer with standard report templates and wizards to accomplish standard report tasks
• Powerful scripting language, SCRIPT, that defines the entire report, giving the report author unlimited flexibility to create complex reports using SQL-like procedural language
• Report template has open document structure and therefore supports any scripting language including XHTML, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, ASP.NET, XML, XSL, CCS, as well as any OLE object embedding or ActiveX components
• Report Designer is tightly integrated with sophisticated Query Builder, Data Shape Builder, smart SQL Editor, Report Parameter List designer, SQL Dictionary for most databases (including MS-SQL Server, MS-Access, Oracle, Sybase and DB2), Expression Builder, SCRIPT Editor with full IntelliSense
• Smart visual wizards and standard report templates make SCRIPT editing a very intuitive and simple task
• Syntax colored SCRIPT Editor comes with intuitive IntelliSense support
• User-definable Standard Report Template (SRT) support, tailored with reusability and extensibility in mind. Developers can leverage this feature with their existing information systems, creating custom report wizard templates, to be used throughout their report projects
• Visual HTML editor integrated with Data Field insertion, Expression Builder, ELS-Row insertion, as well as, drag-drop insertion mechanisms for data connection, query text and other elements
• Unlimited capabilities for complex nested grouping, summaries, running sums, grand totals, with very intuitive and natural WHILE-loops
• The SCRIPT language includes conditional control IF-ELSEIF-ELSE, iteration control WHILE, as well as full syntax making complex report creation extremely flexible and straight forward
• Report templates support the inclusion of any type of images including GIF, JPG, BMP, WMF, PNG, as well as any graphics that your web browser supports

Report Engine Deployment

• The report engine may be deployed in both server-based and server-less platforms
• It comes with built-in HTTP 1.1 Compression for reduced bandwidth usage and faster performance
• It supports direct XML serialization along with OLE DB and ODBC connection
• The engine is optimized for minimum CPU and memory usage; it will use not more than a page of memory regardless of the length of the report output. For example, the generation of 10 paged report will consume the same amount of memory as 10,000 paged report

Report Output Formats

• The report output is native XHTML format, which disposes of the need of specialized viewers. In fact, the report output may be immediately generated directly into your Internet browser
• No painful export procedures needed, this is because the report output being XHTML format document may be opened directly into MS-Office applications or Internet browser
• The output being an open document structure may readily be editable after generation
• Contents of the output may be directly transferred into MS-Office via simple copy/paste operations
• Report output may be generated with highlights or formatting depending on data specific information

Data Support

• ELS-Script^® support a wide range of OLE DB and ODBC compliant databases, including MS-SQL Server, MS-Access, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, FoxPro, dBASE and Text
• SCRIPT language supports built-in XML object to incorporate more flexible and advanced XML data manipulation
