Stimulsoft BI Server
Stimulsoft BI Server offers a wide range of options for creating, editing, building, exporting, and printing reports and dashboards.Creating reports and dashboards
To build reports and dashboards, the Stimulsoft BI Server system uses Stimulsoft Reports, which provides the necessary functionality for creating report templates, and Stimulsoft Dashboards, which contains everything you need to work with analytics panels. You can create both simple reports on several pages and complex ones with rich graphics and nested structures, multi-page documents, and clear interactive dashboards. Various charts, cross-tabs, barcodes, geometric primitives, and various formatting tools are supported to design informative reports and stunning dashboards.For creating and modifying report templates, each type of client application uses its built-in designer that is not different from other parts of the program. It is easy to use and does not require running additional applications.
Scheduler
The scheduler is a description of the required actions and events, triggered without direct user action. The incredibly flexible scheduler allows you to program any event by time – from a simple single run to national holidays (and even Easter, each year falling on a different date) with a time shift. Activity ranges of the scheduler are available, as well as cyclic recurrences and exceptions. The object Calendar allows collecting a list of dates logically related to each other. In this case, the scheduler takes time zones into account and has a deadline for the execution of actions in which one can run reports, copy items, send email messages as information for users about the events and even run nested schedulers. Actions can be created within a single scheduler and consistently executed without any user intervention.Import and Export of Data
Stimulsoft BI Server supports connections to a wide range of data sources, including MS SQL, Firebird, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others, and is compatible with all standard OData protocol types. It can obtain data from XML, JSON, Excel, and various other file sources. Support for multiple data formats allows simple integration of Stimulsoft BI Server into a corporate environment without requiring changes to existing services.The report server allows exporting electronic documents in various formats for corporate document management, including PDF, Word, Excel, OpenDocument Writer, HTML, TXT, and more. A key advantage of our system is that exports to all supported formats are controlled by using internal libraries, without the need to install third-party software.
Ease of Use
Impressions of the program are formed not only on the basis of the functionality. The essential thing is the interaction between the man and the system. We paid a lot of attention to this aspect. As a result, Stimulsoft BI Server gets a well-thought and intuitive interface, easy to use, and quick to work with. On all platforms, client applications use maximum capabilities of the platform for which they are created, do not violate the routine concept in the interface of an operating system and are intuitive for users of any level of experience. Asynchrony of the interface provides responsiveness and speed; intuitive and familiar controls provide fast adoption.
Globalization
Transnational work environments have not been overlooked - Stimulsoft BI Server supports localization, allowing users who speak different languages to work within the same system. The interface has been translated into 30+ languages, supports various cultures and font types, and allows globalization of reports and dashboards. Specialized components are also available to simplify work with fonts.Collaboration between departments located in different time zones and cultural regions is both transparent and straightforward. A single document can support multiple input formats, numeric and date representations, and regional conventions. The system also accounts for local specifics such as barcode standards, invoice formats, native name display on maps, localization of basic functions in the data dictionary, and much more.
High security level
Stimulsoft BI Server includes several tools that considerably improve the safety and security of data. This is critical for the functioning of the corporate environment. In the "ecosystem" of the reports and dashboards server, we use a role-based user control of access to the data and various components of the system. It allows you to flexibly configure the rights for different categories of users, disabling some functionality to reduce the potential risk of data loss or damage.Also, the system of versioning reports and dashboards, and their snapshots allow preventing data loss in case of software errors of connected data sources and user actions. If you modify the report template in the designer, the old version of the report is still available and, if necessary, can be activated. Rendered report with data is called a report snapshot. It also has versions accessible from the user interface or API. Moreover, the server can create data snapshots from the selected data source to display a report with data at the required time.
Secure protocols with encryption and access control to the data on the server-side provide high security of the client-server system.
