The Chart object enables to display values, moving average values, Linear and power regression. It’s also possible to display XY charts, mix bars and trends and define different scale options to easily compare results from the same or different time periods. |
DREAM REPORT REPORT DESIGN
The Designer enables to create unlimited reports. Each report can be saved as a template to easily create new reports. For each report, users can insert background and images but also define header and footer that will be copy paste in each page.

Print automatically the report on any printer connected to the network
Email it to a predefine recipient list
Save it on any file server
Publish it over the Web Portal
For this last option a user management module enables to define the access right for each user.
