Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Ad Hoc Report Design

Familiar User Interface

We built the End-User Report Designer to look like familiar word processing web applications with additional data-driven features. This makes the learning curve shallower and provides a welcoming environment where even novice users are happy to design reports.

It's All About the Report

We tuned the user experience to focus on the report design surface. This gives users the maximum space for dragging, dropping, resizing, and laying out the report controls and data regions. Frequently used features are just a click away, while one-time setup configurations take a back seat.

Multi-Use Property Panel

By default, the property panel shows the most commonly modified properties. Selecting 'Show Advanced Properties' from the "Properties Mode" button reveals the complete set of properties for each control. This means non-technical users aren't overwhelmed, while advanced users have the full range of powerful design capabilities at their fingertips.

Web-Based End-User Report Designer for Every User

We built the ActiveReports End-User Web Designer with all users in mind. It brings online report creation to everyone using just a web browser.

The Non-Technical Business User

The intuitive user interface and familiar toolsets are designed to welcome users to the occasional modification or complete redesign of existing reports to answer their immediate business questions.

The Casual Technical Business Analyst

A complete set of data visualization tools provide the casual business analyst with the power to design and maintain elegant yet powerful report for the whole organization.

The Technical Information Worker

All of the same tools and properties available in the Visual Studio-integrated designer offer users full control over every detail of the report design to build pixel-perfect output.
