Modern Design Workspace
Unlike traditional report designers, ClientUI Report Designer features clutter-less surface that allows you to work with the report elements as if they were in an actual page. Featuring true WYSIWYG experience, you can easily author gorgeous business reports through the guided task workflow in the ribbon. You can easily add a data band or report section from the ribbon gallery, set common properties in smart tag, copy and paste objects through context menu or keyboard shortcuts, and customize every aspect of the report component and layout – all from within the single report designer interface.
Robust Drag-Drop Support
One of the key features in the ClientUI Report Designer is its robust drag and drop support which allows you to perform most design tasks in elegant way. Say goodbye to tedious tasks commonly found in report authoring such as object positioning and resizing, object creation, data field sorting, and more. In addition, you can also perform drag-drop on multiple objects, or drag-hold on empty surface to quickly select multiple nearby objects.
Smart Grid Snapping
Aligning labels and fields can be a daunting task in generic report designer without design visual aid support. That's not something to worry in ClientUI Report Designer – thanks to its design ruler and smart snap-to-grid designer features. Simply drag an object to move or resize it around, the Report Designer automatically snaps to the spot you desire – making it easy for you to create beautiful report with neat, properly-aligned layout.
