Typical journey
Most teams move through dReveal in this sequence:
- Build the data model and report files in Build Reports.
- Decide how those reports will be consumed:
- Use Reports for Lite or Enterprise.
- Embed Reports for custom ASP.NET integration.
Which route should I choose?
Choose Build Reports if you are a report author, analyst, or implementation team member creating .dModelX, .dRepX, .dDashX, or .dDocX files.
Choose Use Reports if the report files already exist and your goal is simply to run them through Lite or Enterprise.
Choose Embed Reports if your development team needs to host dReveal capabilities inside your own application.
