DynamicReports

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:07:33 +0000

DynamicReports allows you to create dynamic report designs without the need for a visual report designer. Create fast and easy reports and export them to a range of popular formats including PDF, Excel, Word and others.

Key software features include:

- User-friendly: only a very small amount of code is needed to create a report and it makes complex reports easy to maintain and understand.

- Dynamic report design: the design of each report is created in simple Java code. You can implement any logic in your code which decides how the report will look like. This makes it ideal for ad-hoc reporting where it is necessary to create reports dynamically.

- Inherited report design: a design can even be inherited from another design. This is impossible in static report designs designed in visual designers.

- And much more. For a full feature list, see here.

Below are some screenshots of reports made with DynamicReports.
