Lets follow our sample application:
We see the below report in the sample application:
The report is divided into two parts - a graph report and a table below the graph that corresponds to the data represented in the graph.
Graph Report
- Graph report or chart report involves the pictorial representation of the data that has to be reported to the end user. The data here is classified based on the specific scales and the graph is drawn accordingly.
Table Report
- Table reporting format is the simplest form of reporting displaying data in terms of rows and columns
- Below is the sample picture of the table report in sample application.
Note: Since we can define different levels of access in Quickforms applications (admin or user), reports can be user specific , i.e. only showing data logged by the user or allowing a user access to specific reports. However, administrators can see the reports of the whole application.
