Any system can benefit from a generic reporting capability that will allow any query to be turned into a report.
The Cohesion Report tool has had many enhancements since initial development including:
- Multiple column sorting.
- Paging through huge data-sets.
- Sub-totals/totals computed on columns.
- Bulk editing of one ore more columns.
- Embedded linking to related data.
- Overridable column formatting.
- Exporting any report direct to Excel format.
Additionally features can be enabled allowing any column from tables related to the ones in the report to be used in filters or added to the display allowing an extensive range of possible reports generated off the initial one. The Cohesion Report tool is used as the default list/search view for the Cohesion Editor, but is used for nearly every report in the system.
