2.1.9 Query & Reporting with LANSA

Finally, once you have completed your application, LANSA offers an end-user productivity tool for query, reporting and charting of LANSA application data. It also allows you to import the data to spreadsheets or other PC tools for analysis. It makes use of the LANSA Repository technology, thereby protecting your data, while providing fast and efficient access.

With LANSA, you can centrally define and control query access on the server which helps you to avoid time-consuming and error-prone LAN replication of files and definitions. Fields are given business names that users find easy to understand. Also, navigation rules between files are defined, making it easy for users to find the data they need.

Designed for end-users, this tool is easy-to-use and can help to significantly reduce your application backlog by allowing users to create their own specialized reports. Users can easily create sophisticated reports and charts.  For example, complex queries can be created by simply dragging and dropping fields from files. Retrieved data can be plotted and charted using many different formats. A point-and-click application generation facility lets you package multiple promptable queries and reports into a single icon. It is the ultimate in simplicity for any end user.
