Other options for creating Report in Jet

Jet Report

Report Wizard

An entire report can be created from a single table using the Report Wizard. The Report Wizard allows data to be grouped, filtered, sorted, subtotaled, and formated.

 

Report Builder

The Report Builder creates reports based on Jet Data Views.  Jet Data Views define table relationships, available fields, field captions, and table captions for a particular reporting area, such as sales, inventory, payroll, etc.  Jet Data Views can be created using the Data View Creator.

Before Using the Report Builder

Before you use the Report Builder you will need to import or create data views and categories.

A set of data views for Dynamics NAV can be found on Jet Web Site you can access the same from here. You can also click on the Download Data Views link within the Report Builder.

After downloading the file, you should open the .zip folder and extract the data view category (.jdc) file.

Importing Data Views and Categories

To import data views and categories, go to the Data Source Settings and select File -> Import -> Data View Categories.

 

Table Builder

An entire report can be created from a single or more table using the Report Wizard. The Table Wizard allows data to be grouped, filtered, sorted, subtotaled, and formated.

 

Browser

Provides browsing window to Select Tables and Fields, using which you can directly create an NL/ NF Function with their parameters and arguments.

 

This way I reach to end of my Jet Report Introduction Series. In future I will keep adding more details.
