Through an applications object integrated into an intranet, several settings can be applied that allow existing data to be displayed simply and effectively. After selecting the data source, the index or the view is chosen into which the data may be readout. Subsequently the columns are defined that are to be displayed in the summary list, as well as the optional columns to represent the data set on the detail page.
During the final step, a selection of the sheet function (for large amounts of data), as well as the columns is made onto which the search is to be applied. During the entire time, the list may be printed or exported into Excel. Furthermore, the data can be maintained in the original data source (e.g. Access, MS-SQL-Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostGreSQL, Excel), and will be displayed according to the current list application in use throughout.
