When you use Report Assistant, WebFOCUS creates a styled report that you can deploy on the Web without the necessity of learning the complexities of any reporting language. You can then take full advantage of the capabilities of the reporting language to efficiently display data.

In Report Assistant, you will design the look and feel of your report, specify report field properties, define criteria for selecting specific data source records, and control the report output.

Note: If you are using Report Assistant with a Firefox browser, the display may be slightly different than Internet Explorer. These differences do not effect functionality.
