Supercharge your productivity with an intuitive workflow

The purpose of a database reporting tool is very simple: the tool should provide users with a platform to facilitate the layout of a report. When the layout is supplied with data, the report is generated as an output. The following animation shows an ideal workflow.

Unfortunately, popular database reporting tools don't exactly work this way. Users of these tools need to have a data source ready and set it to the design before they can begin laying out the various elements of the report.
The process is not only unnatural from a user perspective, but the hard coupling of the graphical layout to a data source means that the report cannot exist independently of it. The result is a rigid workflow and makes reusing the layout for other data sources difficult.

Pixel Perfect Reports breaks this dependency. In doing so, we also eliminate the use of datasets, further simplifying the process and eliminating a host of problems associated with the use of datasets.
