- Visualized Query designer (VQD)
It is used to design and query reports, so that users who are not familiar with SQL can easily create, edit, and design reports. VQD creates a data query statement using the drag-and-drop method, and can directly preview the query result. You do not need to manually write any SQL statements to easily bind a report data source. Even end users who are not familiar with SQL technology can use this designer to quickly design the report data source, modify and preview query results, and perform other operations.
This control can be used to create the document directory results of a report. For example, when making a sales Annual Report, including the inventory page, catalog, quarterly sales summary and details, product sales summary and details, sales data of various business personnel, and sales data of various regions, you can use this control to create a report similar to a directory in Word. Click the page number in the directory to go to the corresponding page.
