- Code-based reports.
- Multi-page and multi-template reports.

Report designer
- The powerful modern editor includes a large set of tools for visually designing and modifying report templates.

Security
We place great importance on the protection of your data.

This is very beneficial for companies that want to adapt the product to their own special needs. Avoid ‘rogue’ components and be in full control of all your software code, giving you absolute security!
- Reports only have access to data specified by your application and data can be made read-only.
- Encrypted templates and reports (by Rijndael-like algorithm). Data can be protected by a secure document password.
Be confident in the security and confidentiality of your reports!
Flexibility and Interactivity
- Built-in script shell that supports 4 languages: PascalScript, C++ Script, BasicScript, and JScript.
- Interactive forms, drill-down (drop) reports, call another report with detailed information from the preview window with one mouse click.
- Flexible and open architecture. If FastReport doesn’t do enough for you, you can enhance it by creating and connecting your own objects (export filters, functions, and database engines) to your reports.
- Inheritance of report templates.
- Reports can be independent of your application, so the application does not require recompilation when a user requires changes in a report.
