Design Reports

DBxtra Designer

The DBxtra Report Designer is the core part of the DBxtra reporting suite.
It allows you to create projects, connect to your databases and define user-groups and user security.
You can design queries, reports, charts, data grids and pivot tables.

DBxtra Designer licensing:
You’ll need at least one DBxtra Designer license to design and deploy reports.
The DBxtra Designer is licensed on a concurrent user base. You can install it on as many computers as you want; but only the amount of concurrent users which your Designer license supports can use it at the same time.

Pricing: Please see here our pricing schema.

Deploy Reports

You have two options to deploy reports.

Free Desktop Report Viewer

Your end-user can use the Free Desktop Report Viewer to open any report designed with the DBxtra Designer.

Free Desktop Report Viewer licensing:
The Free DBxtra Desktop Report Viewer can be installed on as many PC’s as you need and is totally free of charge.

The DBxtra Report Web Service

If you require a more advanced report deployment interface we recommend using the Report Web Service.

Compare the Free Desktop Report Viewer vs. the Report Web Service.

The DBxtra Schedule Server

Your reports can be scheduled for delivery by e-mail to your business contacts. Plus, you can export reports to a specific location or uploaded to an FTP server; all in the most common output formats like PDF, Excel, text and Word. You can also program and send alerts to co-workers when imperative information is uncovered in your data. That way your company can quickly address any situation and respond in a timely manner.
