Stonefield Query has the following features:- Stonefield Query works with SalesLogix versions 5.0 and later.
- If you have the SalesLogix OLE/DB Provider installed then Stonefield Query will adhere to SalesLogix record based security because it will use your SalesLogix username and password when connecting to the SalesLogix database. This means that when you run a report you only see the records that are available to the username that you are connected with.
- Tables are organized into logical data groups. Rather than selecting from over a hundred tables when creating a new report, you first select the data group you wish to work with, then select from the small set of tables in that data group.
- Security: the administrator user can specify which users can access Stonefield Query and define which data groups each user can report on. This allows you, for example, to prevent users from creating or running reports from system tables.
- Customized table and field captions for base tables are automatically supported.
- Calculated fields defined in SalesLogix, including those involving local joins, are automatically supported.
- User-defined tables, fields, and relationships are automatically supported.
- Stonefield Query can report on information in QuoteWerks, a quoting system that integrates seamlessly with SalesLogix.
- Powerful query and reporting tool designed with the end-user in mind. Design reports in minutes, not hours or days.
- Simple "wizard" interface. After selecting a report from the list of available reports, you can select the sort order, enter filter conditions, and select where the output goes (printer, text file, spreadsheet, screen preview, etc.).
- Full English descriptions for all field and table captions rather than cryptic names and symbols. English operators such as "equals" and "greater than" instead of "=" and ">" are used.
- Handles complex join conditions between tables automatically.
- When you create a report, you can specify whether other users can change the filter conditions or the way it's sorted. You can even define reports that are only accessible to specific users.
- Create great-looking charts and graphs, either by themselves or included in other reports.
- Easily create labels, including mailing labels, product labels, or barcode labels, without worrying about field positioning or label dimensions. All the common Avery label sizes are built-in.
- Drilldown from a report to see details.
- Click the "values" button to get a list of all possible values for any field.
- Control font, color, alignment, heading, and column width for each field. Group on any field with a mouse click.
- Automatically adjusts column widths to match the data in the column.
- The Advanced Report Designer allows you to lay out the report exactly as you want, including company logos, lines, boxes, etc.
- Output to Microsoft Excel, PDF, HTML, Microsoft Word, comma-delimited, or other types of files. You can also email reports.
- Knows your data. You don't have to know how your data is stored or how tables are joined (you don't even have to know what a "join" is).
- Schedule reports to run at any schedule you need.
- Import reports so you can use report layouts designed by other users or consultants.
- Export reports so you can share report layouts with other users.
- Display "real" table and field names so it's easier to locate the table or field you want if you're familiar with these names.
