Lite Introduction
dReveal Lite is the lightweight runtime for users who need to open dReveal report files directly from the browser.
Use Lite when the reports are already authored and the goal is simple local execution without deploying a centralized web application.
When Lite is the right choice
- the user needs to run reports locally
- the team does not need a centralized shared portal
- the required data source is accessible from the user's machine
- a Chrome-based viewer workflow is acceptable
What Lite does
With Lite, users can:
- open report files created in the Designers track
- connect those reports to accessible data sources
- run grid, dashboard, and document outputs locally
- analyze information without opening the authoring tools
What Lite does not replace
Lite is a report execution runtime. It does not replace the desktop authoring tools used to create the report files in the first place.
If you still need to build the model or report, go to Build Reports.
If your team needs a centralized shared reporting site instead of local execution, go to Report Viewers and choose Enterprise.
