Welcome to i-net Designer, the report designer for i-net Crystal-Clear.
If you are new to i-net Designer then please read our Getting Started pages.
Version 10 of i-net Crystal-Clear and i-net Designer supports many new features, see below:
Ad Hoc reporting is a simple way for everyone to generate reports on the fly. It offers an easy-to-use interface which is wizard-like but powerful at the same time.
Our solution enables you to create reports without needing to have specialized knowledge of the underlying database structure or advanced technical skills.
Ad-hoc reporting can be accessed as a module of the Remote Interface, as a web application using the URL: "http:<servername>:<port>/<context if servlet>/remote/adhoc"
or as an applet using the URL: "http:<servername>:<port>/<context if servlet>/adhoc".
An ad-hoc data view is a simplified representation of a complex database. It offers a simple list of columns that can be used in an ad-hoc report instead of a large number of joined tables. An end user does not have to know the structure of a database and can dive into ad-hoc reporting. The ad-hoc data views can be created with the i-net Designer (File menu item "New Ad Hoc Data View").
Since version 10 it is possible to start the i-net Designer from within the repository browser. The i-net Designer can be used without installation on the client.
Based on Ad-Hoc Reporting, we developed a new report wizard for the i-net Designer. With this new report wizard, it is now possible to quickly create reports containing charts and / or crosstabs.
If the border of an report element is, at design time, on the lower edge of a section and the element has a border and / or shadow, then the height of this section increases, at runtime, by the width of the border and / or shadow. In previous versions, the border and/or shadow was painted into the next section.
Single string parameter fields (prompts) which do not have any length limit now accept null in addition to an empty string. In the prompt dialog, they have a "no value" option which can be toggled on and off for the string prompt.
