What it does
FineReport provides visual report design, charts, interactive controls, exports and scheduled distribution. It can embed reporting in existing business systems and also supports structured data entry within reports.
FineReport combines formatted reports with interactive filters and structured data entry. Existing Excel layouts can be imported, while date selectors, text fields, dropdowns and tree filters let readers narrow a report. Entry rules and approval steps support workflows where a report also collects business data.
The desktop download is intended for personal work; sharing reports with others through a URL belongs to the enterprise deployment. Reports can also be exported or distributed on a schedule, so the authoring environment and the server that serves colleagues have different roles.
The product page offers a 30-day full-feature trial without a card. Unregistered evaluation servers have additional operating limits: two concurrent users, trial watermarks for ordinary IP or domain access, and a pause every seven days that requires a restart. Localhost access is treated differently for the watermark.
Paid licences enable the purchased function points. An administrator can inspect registration under System Management > Registration Management in the Decision Platform. Request pricing for the required features and deployment.
