可視化報表模型

• ActiveReports引進了基于事件的擴展隱藏代碼報表模型，增強其靈活性。軟件開發(fā)者幾乎可以創(chuàng)建任何類型的報表。

• Data Dynamics Reports通過內嵌腳本支持更強的可視化報表設計。即使用較少的代碼，對結構理解不深，也可以設計出讓您滿意的報表。

微軟報表定義語言（RDL）格式

• ActiveReports使用已被證明及經(jīng)過時間驗證的專有RPX報表格式。

• Data Dynamics Reports使用微軟的 SQL Server 2005報表定義語言（RDL）報表格式，通過自定義擴展保護您現(xiàn)有的投入。

直接支持商業(yè)報表

• 近十幾年來，對于不同的商業(yè)報表要求，ActiveReports總能高效高質地完成，遠遠超出消費者的預期。

• 除了滿足標準的報表需求，Data Dynamics Reports還直接支持商業(yè)報表功能，比如儀表盤，關鍵績效指示器（KPIs），高級的數(shù)據(jù)可視化功能，主從形式的報表模板和報表主題。

為商業(yè)用戶提供更好的輸出選擇

• ActiveReports支持HTML，RTF， TIFF， PDF 和Microsoft Excel輸出。

• Data Dynamics Reports除了支持上述輸出格式外，還支持Microsoft Excel轉換，Microsoft Word輸出和圖片輸出（BMP，JPEG， GIF， PNG 和 EMF格式）。

ASP.NET Ajax網(wǎng)頁報表查看器

• ActiveReports 為Windows系統(tǒng)提供報表查看控件（Report Viewer Contrul），為網(wǎng)頁提供交互的Flash報表查看器，HTML渲染和PDF輸出。

• Data Dynamics Reports有一個獨立的報表預覽器。對于網(wǎng)頁，它使用本地的ASP.NET Ajax報表預覽器和交互的HTML渲染。

其他商業(yè)報表功能

• 通過主從報表模式，軟件開發(fā)者為終端用戶提供了一套可自由選擇的格式，并保證創(chuàng)建的報表保持一致的外觀。

• 將報表風格、顏色和圖像等報表主題信息保存在一起，以方便升級。

• 交叉表的報表drill-downs（在一個報表中點擊轉到其他地方）和drill-through（訪問數(shù)據(jù)庫）功能，可滿足終端用戶深層地分析數(shù)據(jù)。

How is Data Dynamics Reports different from ActiveReports?

Visual Reporting Model

• ActiveReports introduced the world to an extensive event-based code-behind reporting model to enable extreme flexibility, allowing developers to generate almost any kind of report.
• Data Dynamics Reports follows a more visual report designing model with inline scripting that meets most of your reporting needs with less code and less understanding of the architecture.

Microsoft Reporting Definition Language (RDL) Format

• ActiveReports uses the proprietary RPX reporting format that is proven and time tested.
• Data Dynamics Reports uses Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 Report Definition Language (RDL) reporting format, with custom extensions to leverage your existing investments.

Direct Support for Business Reporting

• ActiveReports has been exceeding customer expectations for over a decade of fulfilling the large volume, high performance, production reporting requirements of small and large businesses.
• Data Dynamics Reports, in addition to fulfilling standard reporting needs, features direct support for business reporting features such as dashboards, KPIs, advanced data visualization, master-child report templates and reporting themes.

Better Export options for Business Users

• ActiveReports supports exporting to HTML, RTF, TIFF, PDF and Microsoft Excel.
• Data Dynamics Reports, in addition to supporting these export formats, also supports true Microsoft Excel transformation, Microsoft Word export and exporting to image formats such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and EMF.

ASP.NET Ajax Web Report Viewers

• ActiveReports includes a Report Viewer Control for Windows, and for the Web, a new interactive Flash Report Viewer along with HTML rendering and PDF exporting.
• Data Dynamics Reports comes with a stand-alone Report Viewer, and for the Web it uses a native ASP.NET Ajax Report Viewer as well as interactive HTML rendering.

Other Business Reporting Features

• Reporting templates for master-child reports enable developers to provide end users with a set of formats they can start with, and enable report authors to create a consistent look across an entire suite of reports.
• Create a cache of reporting themes for common styles, colors, and images in a single location to simplify updates.
• Report drill-down and drill-through capabilities with matrix (crosstab) functionality enables end users to analyze data with a high degree of granularity.
