Introduction

Reporting is an important aspect, especially when it comes to customer satisfaction. The report created by this IDE can be conveniently manipulated. While sorting, searching, limiting the records to a page and pagination are all possible, more advanced manipulation of editing the application, editing a page, and so on are also possible. The user interface created has an aesthetically pleasing look.
