Stonefield Query has the following features:- 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.
- In any case where a table can be broken up in to a combination of 'New', 'Current', and 'History' items, the contents of each table will be combined, so you can don't have to worry about two or three versions of a table. Of course, the option to filter out any of the tables is still available, if you prefer to report on each table individually.
- Stonefield Query only shows which tables and fields are actually available to report on. For example, if your company database does not have a Job Cost History file, you won't have to sort through the corresponding fields when writing reports.
- It scans the Timberline Office database for any custom descriptions you have entered. Fields will appear in Stonefield Query the same way they appear in Timberline Office.
- It will discover any custom fields you have added to your database, and allow you to report on these custom fields alongside any standard fields in the database.
- Stonefield Query provides the ability to report on tables from Accounting, PO/IV, and Service Management without having to worry about the difference between a Timberline ODBC connection and a Pervasive ODBC connection.
- For tables with multiple different GL Account fields, you can dynamically join between that table and the GL Account table on a field of your choosing when you run the report.
