Reporting on WSS |
|
|
I would like to know how people are handling printing WSS info. Obviously
printing is not something that is available in WSS, the print's from IE
aren't very useful.
How are you handling reporting requirements?

By making Views (or web part pages) that are (more) suitable for printing.
Even that isn't too satisfactory but at least they are more suitable than
printouts obtained by printing views designed for screen work.
(i.e. I've not heard of anything better (in WSS). Outside WSS you could
write your own code to access the database directly - or perhaps use
Reporting Services to do it for you.)

Hi Mike,
I didn't want to go to the Database directly ( I understand I can, but it
requires in depth understanding of the model and what if they change it?).
I'm now experimenting with Infopath which does give me some good results. I
was also wondering if there are Report Designers out there that can use Web
Services as Datasource.
