Lite Guide

Use this guide when your goal is to run already-authored dReveal reports locally through the Lite runtime.

Who this is for

  • end users who need to execute reports on their own machines
  • small teams that do not need a centralized reporting portal

Before you start

  1. Confirm that the report files already exist.
  2. Confirm that your machine can access the required data source.
  3. Confirm that the Lite browser runtime is installed.
