The JADE Report Writer Designer application enables a JADE developer or the user of a deployed JADE application to define the layout and content of a report. Based on the content of a report, the JADE Report Writer generates a query that retrieves the required data from the JADE database, prints or previews the report, or outputs it to a file.
A report is based on a database view that you have already created by using the JADE Report Writer Configuration application.
For details about using the JADE Report Writer Designer application, see Chapter 4, "Designing JADE Reports".
The engines of the JADE Report Writer Designer application are the Query Processor and the Report Generator. These work behind the application and are not visible to the end user. They are described in the following subsections.
