Design Ideas

To use the FineReport designer to design a template, you first need to understand the idea of making the FineReport template, and follow the idea to understand all the functions in the FineReport report.

The FineReport report production process is as follows:

1) Create a new data connection: Before making a template, first make sure that the designer knows the database type, database address, user name and password for accessing the database, and then create a new data connection in the FineReport designer to establish the interaction between the database and the designer bridge;

2) Create a new template and dataset: After the data connection is created, you need to add a template. The data connection is used for the entire project. It does not actually take the data out of the database, so it needs to be in a specific template. Create a new dataset and fetch data from the database through a data connection;

3) Template design: After the data preparation is completed, the template design is carried out. The template design is the most important part of the FineReport learning process. We divide the template design into four parts: report design, parameter design, chart design and report design. , These four parts are the main ways to use the FineReport template. The report design is pure data display, the parameter design is dynamic query data, the chart design uses charts to display data, and the report design is to enter data and write the data into the database. , According to the actual situation, determine which way to use, or which ways to use in combination;

4) Template preview: After the template design is completed, save the template under the project directory to preview and view the effect of the template on the Web.
