Platform independent

Both Client and Server application are 100% pure Java applications and run on every hardware platform that supports a VirtualMachine for Java2 (former JDK1.2).

Secure

128 Byte RC4 encoding of all important data, including user information, passwords and configuration settings. Secure Socket Client/Server communication (from version 2). Guarded Java Objects and Client authentication (from version 2).

Location independent Data access

Reports are centrally stored at the Server and can be accessed from anywhere. Server acts as central access point to all databases that are accessible.

Distributable Reports

Once a report is created it is available as HTML file and can be easily stored and distributed, for example via eMail, and can be viewed with every browser. The created HTML files are completely independent and contain no additional information except the displayed data.

Report Preview Browser

A browser to preview reports is included in the client application itself. It allows to instantly check the result of changes at the report design without the need of using external applications.

Intuitve User Interface

Both Client and Server application provide a Sate-Of-The-Art graphical user interface that is designed to be intuitively used on all possible hardware platforms. It includes dispatchable tool bars and status bar that keep track of system environments and make them accessible to the user.

Easy creation of new reports

An easy to understand, three step interface guides users through the process of creating a new report. From the choice of database connections and fields that will be part of the report to the definition of data restrictions and data joins.

Easy report design

An easy to use interface allows users to change the design of reports and define functions and formats that will be used when displaying the report.

Report Headers and Footers

Every report supports HTML headers and footers for both the whole report and single pages of the report. All HTML files can be used as header or footer files, offering all the possibilities provided by HTML. This includes images, different font sizes and so on...

Extensible Markup Language - XML

Rather then just putting data into simple textfiles, all data, including report designs, is stored in a especially developed XML format that allows fast data access by maintaining readability.

Concurrent Data access

The Server application allows multiple Clients to access data at the same time while it maintains the data integrity and manages.

Access Monitoring

Administrators are constantly informed about the currently accessing Clients and the operations they are performing. This adds another piece to the security concept of this application.

Central Administration

The Server application acts as central tool that allows administrator to both administrate users and database connections in a time saving way.

Access Restrictions

Access to certain databases, or even single tables within a database, can be easily restricted to user or users groups. The Server applications offers an interface to keep track of all those restrictions and change them dynamically.

And many, many, more...
