Report element items

Text label, field, HTML text, line, rectangle, ellipse, images, barcode, crosstable, QTableView items. A Custom item is available for graphics or any content generated by the QPainter-based application.

Parameters for sending data

Applications can send QVariant data to reports as a parameter. These can be used for direct rendering, in SQL commands, and in logical expressions and scripts. Parameters are useful for transferring dynamic images as well.

Details and groups sections

The reporting system is band-driven. Various details are supported in a report as multilevel detail section groups with group headers, footers, aggregate functions: SUM, COUNT, AVG, STD, MIN, MAX
