Reports are one of the tools for the simple presentation of data collected and evaluated in Q-DAS applications. Properly configured and used, the reports enable evaluation time to be significantly reduced by providing all relevant information at a glance. With Form Designer, new report templates (forms) can be created, and existing ones modified.

| Filtering Data in Reports (Template) Depending on the circumstances, it might not be required to include all loaded data and information in a report. Therefore, there are different ways to define or limit the scope of data shown in reports.

| Embedding graphics using connecting lines Q-DAS applications support different types of graphics and images and provide a variety of options for handling them. One way to do this is to include graphics in reports by creating an appropriate report template. Link to: Images in the Q-DAS Applications - Embedding and using graphics in reports |
| Calculated Expression - Calculated Output In case a required output point is not available, calculated expressions can be created. Saved as custom output points or special reports elements, the results of these expressions can be output in the reports.
