What is a dataset?

A dataset is a collection of information; it's a thoughtfully organized and structured collection of data that serves as the basis for creating reports that can aid in informed decision-making.

 

FastReport uses structured datasets that are created by passing SQL queries to the database server that Dispatch is connected to.

 

When you load FastReports, Dispatch will load all the SQL queries contained in a specific folder for and create a corresponding dataset for each query.

 

Dispatch comes with over a dozen standard data sources. You are free to edit them and create your own new queries.

 

We do not support datasets in CSV, Excel or JSON format.
