Adobe ColdFusion Report Builder

Specifically created for web developers, Adobe ColdFusion is a comprehensive application designed to facilitate the development of web-based applications that can be run on various platforms and devices. Adobe ColdFusion Report Builder adds reporting capabilities to it, enabling developers to design their own, professional-looking reports that can be distributed to customers and partners.

You start by setting up the connection to the running ColdFusion server, either manually or using a wizard that can guide you throughout the entire procedure. During this operation you must provide the website URL and the local webroot that the server is configured for.

The application successfully integrates with Adobe ColdFusion version 11 and older, querying databases and helping you extract all the data you need in order to create the report. The Report Builder interacts with the ColdFusion server, gathering and storing field definitions, SQL statements, formatting options, CFML and so on.

Integrated wizards to design reports

Thanks to its built-in wizards, Adobe ColdFusion Report Builder makes it very easy for you to have a banded report ready for use in minutes.

The wizard enables you to define the fields to query and their grouping order, as well as the report layout, orientation, size, colors and style. The application includes a query builder that can help you select the attributes and fields you want it to include in the final report.

You can change the appearance of your report by inserting images, labels, custom fields, charts or geometrical shapes. The order of the containing objects can be freely changed and items can be grouped together.

Created by Adobe itself, the ColdFusion Report Builder can facilitate the access to important sets of data, helping developers create structured and intelligible reports for all running ColdFusion servers. It manages to help you access important data, making it easy for you to have a business report ready for distribution in no time.
