Reporting Tool for Websites

Pin It
There are a lot of tools for win32 applications (desktop applications). There are simple to complicated, tabular to graphical reports. A lot of reporting tools are available for win32 applications. But for websites, most developers tend to show simple script-based reports like data extracted from the business database and then shown as html text on the website. This is done by javascript, PHP and other front-end and back-end scripting tools.

For an Adobe PDF format report, the scripting tools are also in handy. Report Builder and Crystal Reports are the most used web reporting tools to execute data as Adobe PDF. These tools can show reports inside a flash based application (embedded), but not embedded in the website itself, meaning the report is part of the flash-based application, and the flash based application is embedded in the website. A cool scripting tool is FPDF, an open source reporting tool specifically for creating PDF reporting formats.

There are other reporting tools wherein you can actually embed the report in the website. InetSoft is created primarily as a web-base reporting tool. It has neat, web architecture components like buttons, edit boxes and radio buttons.

There are a lot more reporting tools for websites. All of them have different packages that is design to fit how one would like to have their report.
