This content describes how to use and work with Active Technologies. It is intended for administrators and developers who
are responsible for creating active reports, charts, and dashboards.
An Active Technologies report, also referred to as an active report, is a report that is designed for offline analysis. When
using an active report, you can:
- Interact with the data, using analysis options similar to those found in an Excel® workbook, without any connection to a server.
Analysis options include filtering, sorting, charting, and much more.
- Work offline without any additional plug-ins or programs. An active report is a self-contained report, meaning that it contains
all the data and JavaScript® within the HTML output file. Packaging the data and the interactive functions in the HTML file
also makes the output highly compressible for email and transparent to security systems.
- Save the report on a local machine with active report functionality. Since no connection to a server is required to view the
data or use the analysis options, you can save and use the report anywhere.
