Quick reports - exports
In addition to the manipulations explained in the video, you should note that:
You can also perform exports using the Export editor.
Normally, for a simple export, we recommend using the Export editor. As soon as you need to synthesize your data or combine it into lists or cross tables, saved in HTML with formatting, then you'll need to use the Quick report editor.
It is important to fully understand and make use of all the possibilities that the Quick report editor provides. This will increase your productivity and avoid wasting time performing processing that 4D does very well itself.
Furthermore, you can completely program the generation of reports based on reports that you have already configured as we did in the video and then generate the corresponding source code (during the "Finalization" phase in the Quick report editor).
The Quick report editor is actually an integrated 4D plug-in that has its own programming language.
Refer to the previous videos (First steps in 4D) and more particularly to the documentation to find out more about how this powerful editor works.
