Jets Report

edisonl

Hi everyone,

Being a novice I heard a lot about Jet reports but I have not gotten the opportunity to used them yet. Can someone tell me more about it ? Eg: Is that a third party developed software that is almost like LS Retail ? Or a pure standalone 3rd party software or part of Microsoft propriety technology?

I tried to search through the web but is not able to find any real useful explanation.

All I know that it is able to churned out data for analysis but I know that currently Dataport Objects in Navision are able to achieve it as well (not sure if I got the right idea though)

Anyone there care to shed some light please ?

Dataports are for exporting & importing of data. You don't need to do this if your simply wanting to create reports. YOu can export to excel to creat some reports & use odbc to pull data into access n such. There are sql reporting tools, crystal reports, jet reports, etc.

There should be demo's on the jetreports website.

Nav has Account schedules that can be used to analyze info too.
It all depends on what you're looking for.

JetReports has been around quite awhile. It is a FANTASTIC report generator, particularly useful in generating financial statements. It is way more than an "import/export" tool - it links NAV data real-time into Excel, so when items are posted into NAV, you simply open the JetReports report and refresh.

Now, Excel can be linked real-time to NAV through ODBC, but the other JetReports features make formatting, creation, etc. much faster and easier.

Check out the JetReports website.

Jet Reports it a reporting system for Navision or ODBC/OLEDB Databases. We sell and train this tool in germany since 2006 and have a lot of satisified customers.

You'll find a lot of information here: http://www.jetreports.com/how-to-buy/see-it.php . Watch the video. It explains a lot.

For special questions don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards from germany
