Product Architecture
Overview
The workflow of FineReport can be divided into five main stages: Installation and Deployment, Data Preparation, Report Creation, Report Distribution, and Report Management. Typically, developers craft reports and dashboards, which are then shared with business users and managers for querying, analysis, exporting, and printing.
FineReport features two essential components: Report Designer and Report Server. The Report Designer allows you to create dynamic reports, while the Report Server efficiently manages report distribution.
When you choose FineReport, you gain access to both the Report Designer and a comprehensive Decision-Making Platform. The Report Designer enables you to craft customizable report templates and functionalities, while the Decision-Making Platform centralizes the display of reports, user management, and system configurations.
Report Designer
FineReport’s designer interface is reminiscent of Excel, featuring a user-friendly menu bar, control panel, and style settings. However, while Excel processes data directly, FineReport emphasizes datasets composed of data tables and fields. Designing reports is a breeze—you only need to understand how to bind data columns to cells without any coding required.
Decision-Making Platform
FineReport's decision-making platform acts as a powerful report portal, seamlessly integrating and showcasing all reports and dashboards. It also serves as a comprehensive management backend, covering user account management, data permission control, system operations, and data security. Each module is packed with detailed features, empowering users to efficiently manage and utilize data in a secure environment. This multifunctional integrated management capability is a standout advantage of FineReport.
