Report Designer at application user level?
This is a pre-sales question for Standard Version.
I have a reporting tool which does massive number crunching and processing, in the end users are given the data in multiple tabular formats like multiple tables. My tool (which I developed over a few years) is able to provide this data in a database in which each tabular output is a table. So, what I would like to do is "add on" Fast Reports such that the user could build visual based reports off this data. My question is, is it possible to build reports from an application user level? I envision a new feature on my reporting tool that says "Layout Data" or "Visual Report" and then the user (really a programmer or technically inclined user) can then build the report. I will link in all the data prior to the designer opening.
Will the Standard Version support this?
