FineReport and FineBI Project Integration

FineReport and FineBI are displayed separately if they are deployed integratedly and their registration periods are different.

The registration fails if both FineReport and FineBI are expired.

All registered function points and plugins are displayed in Function List, as shown in the following figure.

If you use functions related to an unregistered function point, the error message "11100016. You are using an unregistered function - xxx." may be displayed.

The following will specifically describe the functions corresponding to each function point and the impact incurred by unregistration.

Basic Report Module

Multi-Datasource Connection

Data can be retrieved from multiple databases or data tables and calculation can be performed across multiple datasets in a report.

Note:

If this function is not registered, no data column can be selected for filter association under Data Column > Filter > Common Condition. Otherwise, the data of another dataset will be lost.

Multi-Sheet Report Design

The designer allows you to create a multi-sheet report and import/export a multi-sheet Excel file.

Note:

If this function is not registered, no multi-sheet report can be calculated normally, previewed, or filled.

Multi-report Running Environment

You can switch between multiple reports that are running in the environment.

Multi-report environments are also known as multi-working directories. Each independent application or integration environment of a report corresponds to a working directory. Corresponding JAR files, report template files, and resource management files are placed in each working directory.

If you install FineReport on your computer, the webroot folder in the local installation directory functions as an independent local working directory.

If there are multiple environments such as testing environments and production environments, FineReport allows you to easily switch between multiple working directories.

Enhanced Statistical Analysis Module

You can customize groups (by conditions or formulas), and use hierarchical coordinate formulas required in comparison with the same/previous period, ranking, proportion, and accumulation during template creation.

Note:

If this function is not registered, errors will occur when you use custom groups and hierarchical coordinates. In this case, an error message indicating that you are using an unregistered function will be displayed.

Parameter Query Page

FineReport offers a dedicated parameter panel for you to place query-related widgets for quick data query. You can achieve a desired effect by visual dragging and layout customization.

The parameter query panel is on the upper part of the report page. You can set the layout of the parameter query panel through dragging widgets from over 20 types of widgets provided, including text widgets, number widgets, date widgets, drop-down box widgets, drop-down checkbox widgets, drop-down trees, drop-down checkbox trees, radio button group/checkbox group widgets, password widgets, iframe widgets, list widgets, view trees, and multi-file upload widgets.

You can set basic attributes for the parameter panel, including whether to display the panel, whether to display report content before query, panel background settings, and panel display position settings.

Note:

If this function is not registered, the parameter panel will not be displayed on the preview page, and the summary results of the displayed report will not be displayed.

Template Permission Integration

Integration with other information systems can be achieved through dataset authentication and LDAP authentication, realizing permission control on report pages.

Note:

If this function point is not registered, you cannot use the template authentication function on the platform.

AlphaFine

It is more convenient for report makers to create reports through artificial intelligence. Currently, AlphaFine provides intelligent search and intelligent template detection.

The former function allows you to obtain all available FanRuan resources for faster report creation, and the latter can provide you with solutions if an error occurs during report creation.

Remote Design

FineReport adopts a three-tier structure for you to create and modify report templates in the designer remotely.

Through the remote design mode, you can locally design and remotely publish templates, and directly edit and modify server-side report files.

Note:

If this function is not registered, direct connection will fail. In this case, the error message "The current license does not support remote design. Upgrade your license." will be displayed.

Template Assistant

Risk and error reminders are provided during template creation to reduce the possibility of developing problematic reports.

Dynamic HTML5 Chart

HTML5 Canvas and SVG adopted by FineReport allow dynamic charts to be generated in the browser, with rich animation and interaction effects.

If this function is registered, you can set animation effects/interactions for series/coordinate axis prompts, highlight selected content, and scale coordinate axes to display charts dynamically using Canvas and SVG.

Note:

If this function is not registered, charts cannot be dynamically displayed through Canvas. There is no dynamic display effect, interaction for series, coordinate axis prompt, highlighting for selected content, or coordinate axis scaling.

If this function is not registered, you cannot use Advanced Chart Interaction.

General Report

Aggregation Report

You can place report elements on a canvas and edit and combine any report elements.

It is very difficult to create complex large reports (that have multiple data partitions and involve multiple statistics and indicators) in a conventional way. Aggregation reports are tailor-made to avoid such difficulties.

Note:

If this function is not registered, you cannot open, create, or preview aggregation reports.

Data Analysis

By suffixing the report access URL with the op=view parameter, you can use FineReport to re-analyze data deeply on the current page, saving yourself from repeated data connections.

Note:

To preview the collapsible tree, you need to select Data Analysis Preview from the drop-down list of the preview button.

If this function is not registered, you cannot preview reports in data analysis mode.

Print/Export

Reports can be printed accurately and clearly. The system supports zero-client printing and provides many other advanced functions such as client-end silent printing.

Templates can be exported in various formats such as PDF, Excel, Word, and images.

Note:

If this function is not registered, you cannot use the printing and exporting buttons on the toolbar. In this case, a message indicating that you need to update the license is displayed.

Word Report

You can design Word-like reports by inserting dynamic elements such as data, tables, and charts based on Word.

The Word report plugin adopts the WPS + Designer design mode.

The elements such as dataset fields, parameters, formulas, charts, and tables in the designer are referred to as resources, which are prepared and designed in the designer.

You can insert these resources into WPS, and adjust the format and layout of these resources to export Word files in a fixed format.

When previewing a Word report template, you can see the final effect of the report, which can be exported exactly the same as what you see.

Data Entry

Data Entry

Data in a data entry report can be entered into different tables of the same database or into different databases. That is to say, you can enter data into multiple tables of one database, or multiple tables of different databases.

Note:

If this function is not registered, you cannot use Data Entry Preview.

Multi-Level Data Reporting

The FineReport multi-level reporting function supports multiple reporting process styles, task notification methods such as email notification and system notification, and data entry settings such as limited-time data entry and scheduled distribution.

Note:

If this function point is not registered, you cannot add multi-level reporting tags in Directory Management.

Excel Import

You can import data from Excel into the database in the browser through the export button on the toolbar or the function of batch import without preview.

Most business personnel are proficient in using Office software and often find that data have already been saved in Excel files of the same format during data entry.

In this case, you can directly import the data stored in Excel into the current page using the export button on the toolbar or the function of batch import without preview, and submit the data to the database. This online export function can save you from repeated data entry.

Note:

If this function is not registered, Custom Excel Row/Column Import on the toolbar will not take effect. In this case, a message indicating that you have no permission to use batch import is displayed.

FVS Dashboard

The FineVis Data Visualization plugin is a product dedicated to data visualization scenarios, developed based on the FineReport designer, and delivered as an FineReport plugin, meeting data visualization requirements more conveniently and professionally. This plugin allows you to develop cockpits or 3D visualization dashboards with zero code, and display them on multiple terminals.

To use this plugin, you need to purchase the corresponding functions in FineReport’s license registration.

Note:

Official licenses are supported only in V1.8.2 and later versions.

If the report server project is not registered or the license has expired, a message is displayed in the lower right corner of the template during FVS template preview, indicating that you are using a function which is not registered: FineVis Visualization Dashboard.

If the report server project has been registered with an official license not containing FVS function points, FVS templates cannot be created or opened.

The following table lists function points corresponding to FVS.

Function Point	Description
Visual Dashboard	Most basic functions and common components of FineVis data visualization. Note: To use Extended Chart in the chart component, you need to   purchase the Extended Chart   function point.
Multi-page Design	Functions related to FVS multi-page design.

FVS 3D Component - Custom Model	Functions related to FVS custom 3D scene components.
FVS 3D Component - Unity	Functions related to FVS Unity components.

Enhanced Chart Display

Advanced Chart Interaction

It includes chart linkage (to change data in other charts or cells accordingly after you click data in one chart), monitor refresh (to dynamically change charts and prompt the changed content when data in the database changes), and flashing animation (to flash important graphics).

Note:

If this function point is not registered, the linkage effect does not take effect because you cannot use associations between charts and reports. Also, dynamic data change and animation flashing do not take effect.

Extended Chart

Charts with novel display forms or stunning display effects are provided as a supplement to basic charts through WebGL. These charts are commonly used for dashboard development.

The currently released extended charts include:

• Scene: Scene Map

• Globe: 3D Column on Globe, 3D Scatter on Globe, and 3D Line on Globe

• Map: Carousel GIS Point Map and Carousel 3D Combination Map

• Gauge: Carousel Luminous Gauge, Liquid-Fill Chart, and Pixel Chart

• KPI Card: Carousel KPI Card and Particle Counter

• Time: Time Gear

• Column: Arc Column Chart and Special Column Chart

• Others: Carousel Catalog Gear and Fancy Tree

Note:

If the function is not registered, you cannot use the Extended Chart plugin.

Map

You can visualize data (such as geographical attributes and indicators) on built-in maps, custom maps, and GIS maps.

Note:

If this function is not registered, the part about the map in templates cannot be created, displayed, or previewed. You cannot use GIS maps either.

Portal

Decision-making Platform

With this decision-making platform, enterprises can build their report centers (namely comprehensive portals providing functions including appearance configuration, system O&M, system configuration, plugin management, user management, data configuration, and user information monitoring), supporting the analysis of various subjects.

Note:

If this function point is not registered, the platform directory is empty (although the platform can be opened), and the administrator cannot add directories normally in Directory Management.

Data Portal

As an entry integrating all required routine data, the data portal helps enterprises unify their portals, supports homepage customization for multiple roles, and allows homepage personalization.

Task Schedule

FineReport allows you to easily and quickly set up tasks, such as daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports.

You just need to set scheduled tasks, and the server will automatically complete the set tasks at the specified time.

FineReport supports scheduled report generation, scheduled data conversion, and scheduled sending of emails, SMS, and app notifications. It also allows you to specify directories where reports are generated and view report generation results with a web browser.

Note:

If this function is not registered, the Task Schedule module is not available in System Management. If you visit http://IP address:Port number/webroot/decision/timer, a message indicating that this function is not registered will be displayed.

O&M Platform

Note:

If this function point is not registered, Load Surveillance, Memory Session, and Template Limit are not available in Load Management, and Resource Migration, Resource Anomaly, and Disk O&M are also not available in Intelligent O&M.

If this function point is not registered, you cannot use the O&M platform to manage connected projects.

Group Permission Control

Through group permission control, multiple departments can share the system, in which administrators in each department can assign permissions to their own employees. With such hierarchical permission assignment, administrators can assign template permissions only within their own scope of responsibility.

The system supports the multi-level assignment of permissions on database connection, report design, and report viewing/management.

Note:

If this function point is not registered, you cannot use group permission control. To use group permission control, both the Decision-making Platform and Group Permission Control function points need to be purchased.

SMS Platform

The SMS function provided by carriers is integrated to build the SMS platform in the decision-making system.

This function is compatible with FanRuan's report management system and can be used in SMS notification scenarios of report templates, such as task schedule failure notification, intelligent alert notification, user identity verification during password modification, and other system message notifications.

Note:

If this function point is not registered, you cannot use the SMS platform.

Data Alert

Business personnel can independently create a data alert system with low costs, which automatically monitors the core business data and promptly notifies them of data abnormalities through mailboxes, clients, third party channels.

• If the project is not officially registered, you can trial full plugin functions after installing the Data Alert plugin.

• If the project is registered but the Data Alert function point is unregistered, you can create a maximum of two alert tasks with the plugin.

Mobile Terminal

Mobile terminals consist of the DataAnalyst app, HTML5 terminals, and integrated HTML5 apps (such as WeChat, DingTalk, and integrated third-party apps), which can be used to access a single template/report directory.

Different usage scenarios require you to register different function points, as shown in the following table.

Mobile Decision-making Platform

DataAnalyst, the native mobile application developed by FanRuan, is compatible with iOS and Android systems and boasts features such as comfortable experience and interaction with charts. This app can be bound to mobile devices to secure user information.

Note:

If this function is not registered, you cannot access the mobile decision-making platform through DataAnalyst. You can log in to the platform, but cannot view reports. Meanwhile, no mobile platform directory exists in System Management.

Mobile Report Display

The native rendering technology adopted by mobile FineReport terminals is dedicated to accelerating mobile processors. Compared with traditional HTML reports, reports on mobile FineReport terminals boast higher rendering speed and interation smoothness.

The volume of data transferred for viewing reports on mobile FineReport terminals is only 1/10 to 1/5 of that for viewing traditional HTML reports. You can quickly open reports and smoothly interact with charts even with a 3G network.

Note:

If the function is not registered, you cannot access reports on your mobile devices. You can log in to the decision-making platform through a mobile browser by entering your username and password. But the page is blank (no report displayed).

Dashboard

Dashboard

By simply and flexibly dragging components, you can quickly create a dashboard, which is more beautiful than traditional cell reports. The dashboard can adapt to the screen size and resolution and features intelligent component layout arrangement and better interaction, which is very suitable for building visual a decision-making board.

Note:

If this function is not registered, you cannot use dashboards.

Currently, related function points are no longer sold. For details, consult our sales.

FRMBS Layout

You can adjust the layout of FRM reports on web terminals to accelerate design and debug of FRM reports. For details, see Developer Debug.

Note:

No reminder messages will be sent after the license officially expires.

1. SMS reminder

2. Platform reminder

3. Email reminder

Some users need to re-register their projects regularly if they use licenses with a short valid time. If function points are missing during re-registration, the previously-created dashboard may be unusable.

In projects of 11.0.8 and later versions, the new and old license files will be compared during re-registration. If function points are changed, you will be notified by the prompt "Sure to continue registration? Function points in the new license file may be changed, which may prevent the project from working properly. Contact technical support to check the license file.", as shown in the following figure.

Carefully check whether you want to change the function points and contact technical support in time if you have any problem.
