| LILAC reports run as independent processes
on the LILAC Server and transmit their output
to a client window on the LILAC workstation
PC. The data which may consist of hundreds or thousands of pages, is presented in a high performance scrolling window using virtual memory, on the client PC to store the report image. The servers role, and resource commitment on the server ends with the completion of output of the report data to the client window. |
| Save to Excel |
| The File -> Save menu is available in the LILAC
report window, to create a Microsoft Excel
version of the report data. Excel is invoked, and
the data transferred directly, the data is not in
fact "saved" to the hard drive of the workstation
to achieve this, though of course it may
subsequently be saved as any supported Excel
format from within the Excel window. Once the data is in the Excel context the operator is at liberty to reformat it, and introduce formulae and calculations as desired, and of course exploit Excel's formidable graphing and charting capabilities. The column names, widths etc are preset by the report writer, and the resulting Excel spreadsheet is ready to roll without any significant parsing or reformatting of the column layout. |
