Step-by-Step

The pages here take you through the implementation of Windward Reports Standard Server Engine, as well as Windward Arrow. This procedure is composed of two separate processes.

The first process is incorporating the Windward Reports engine into your software program. Your system can then generate reports as requested via Windward Reports.

The second process is designing the report templates. These templates are fed to Windward Reports for it to use in generating final reports. While this part is generally implemented second, it's easier to explain the system if this part is described first.

All files displayed in this process are displayed as screen shots, allowing us to display the files without worrying about how a browser will impact that format. However, if you wish to view the actual file, you can click on any of the images to get the actual file.

You can also run a report from our website. This will generate a report when you request it, using either our java or .NET engine.
