About Right Reporter
Q. What is Right
Reporter?
Right Reporter is a completely web based reporting tool that
allows users to create, design and run reports using a simple
browser.
Q. Do I need
to know any programming languages to use Right Reporter?
No, you do not need to know any programming to use Right
Reporter. In fact you can even do complex joins of multiple
tables by simply clicking a few buttons!
However, if you wish to use a powerful SQL query as
a source for a report (instead of a Table), then of course
you must know the syntax for a Select statement for the database.
Q. Do I need
to install a client application on a workstation (PC or Laptop)
accessing the Right Reporter?
No. Once Right Reporter has been installed all tasks are performed
using a web browser such as Netscape or IE.
Q. Can I schedule
a report to be run automatically?
Yes, Right Reporter comes with an in-built scheduler.
Reports can be scheduled to run starting at a particular time
and at desired frequencies. Once a scheduled report has been
run, the scheduler can either mail the report or mail the
notice about the report.
Q. Do I need
to do anything on the report server for a report to be executed
automatically?
No. Once a schedule has been created the report will run automatically
at the predefined time interval. If the Right Reporter server
comes down for any reason and report scheduled time has passed
then the report will run automatically as soon as the server
comes up.
Q. Can I automatically
send the report as an attachment or a link to 1 or more e-mail
addresses?
Yes. When creating a schedule, you can specify the
e-mail addresses and whether the report is to sent as an attachment
or a link.
Q. Can I run my report on my
web enabled WAP device?
Yes. However the report must be created using a normal workstation
