HTML Reporting
HTML reporting is appropriate for reports which do not required precise formatting or as a simple way to display reports on the web without additional viewing software (such as a Cryatal report viewer, Acrobat Reader, etc.). HTML reports are usually generated by a web scripting language such as PHP or ASP. HTML reports are often appropiate for internal reporting, where a minimum of development time is required, the report formating is not as crucial or more heavy-duty reporting software is not owned or accessible by your business. Simple reports can also be generated as text files or XML files in a similar way, however text and XML are not as readable (to people) as HTML.
For more heavy-duty reporting where quality or comformity to a technology standard is more important then development costs, Crystal reports or the somewhat less expensive, but more flexible, ActiveReports are some of the options. |
