The B/S structure, namely the Browser/Server (browser/server) structure, only needs to install and maintain the server (Server), and the browser (Browse) is used as the client. It is a change and improvement of C/S (Client/Server, client/server) structure with the rise of Internet technology. Mainly using the ever-mature WWW browser technology, combined with multiple Script languages (VBScript, JavaScript...) and ActiveX technology, it is a brand-new software system construction model.
In this mode, the user interface runs entirely through the WWW browser, part of the transaction logic is implemented on the front end, but the main transaction logic is implemented on the server side. The browser interacts with the database through Web services. Simply put, B/S report software is a report tool that helps users view, edit, save, and output online under the B/S structure.
The early management information system was basically developed using the C/S model. However, due to the widespread use of Internet technology, the management information system began to change from the C/S model to the B/S model.
Efficient operation and simple maintenance are the advantages of the B/S report tool. It can help different people access and operate common data from different locations and through different network access methods. Because this structure no longer needs a dedicated client, it can free the technicians from the lengthy client maintenance work and only need to complete the update of the server program. At the same time, using the browser as the client software will reduce the user's learning cost.
However, the B/S mode has its particularities. The Excel report printing function, which is relatively easy to implement in the C/S mode, becomes more complicated in the B/S mode. If users have a large amount of business data or focus on report output, consider combining C/S to ensure efficiency.
Lisoft B/S report software has rich functions and styles. It supports a variety of styles including but not limited to Excel tables, Word documents, and has a large number of practical functions, such as multi-level grouping, data perspective, mixed graphics, printing/direct printing, report export, etc.
There are various ways of data visualization. More and more attention is paid to the intuitiveness and accuracy of data display. B/S report software contains a variety of data display methods: charts, maps, conditional formatting, data early warning, blurred graphs, data bars, and signal lights.
Interactive data analysis. At present, it provides multiple data analysis methods such as drilling, deepening, filtering, sorting, dynamic tables, chart linkage, table-table linkage, chart linkage, directory jump, etc., to meet various interactive needs.
Multiple data sources support. B/S report software supports data source types such as cloud database, Oracle, SAP, Access, file, and Json. Data from different sources can be merged in report design. Only the original detailed data is required, and the data is not required to be processed by SQL or coding. Perform summary processing.
B/S report software development tool. Improving browser compatibility is the main technical difficulty in the development of Web systems. Developers need to write front-end source code according to different browser versions. For end users, they must install a designated browser to get a better product experience.
At present, the tools for developing B/S reports on the market have their own characteristics, and Lisoft perfectly realizes cross-browser Web reports and end users can get a consistent report usage experience without changing browsers. Moreover, the Lisoft rapid development platform has its own basic report tools, which can quickly configure common functions.
