Frank's Bait and Tackle is never likely to be listed on the NYSE, but Frank likes to use the same tools used by the big boys to manage his business. He keeps all his customer and inventory records in MySQL databases and uses QLR Manager to update those databases and generate reports. We've borrowed some of Frank's databases for this demo.

After launching the demo, you'll notice some instructions on the Connect panel, including the User ID and Password. This area can be used by the Administrator to post instructions or messages for their users. Please click the link below to launch QLR Manager.

After using QLR Manager to author queries and modify their layouts to create professionally formatted reports, the resulting reports can be easily embedded into dynamic web pages produced using PHP. The following example illustrates how two reports, which were saved as queries with companion layouts using QLR Manager, can be inserted into a web page. With the Enterprise Edition, charts and graphs can also be dynamically produced and embedded into PHP pages. Click here for more information about Report Objects.

The recommended method of integrating QLR Manager into your website is to launch the application in a separate window. It is also possible to nest the QLR Manager frameset into its own frame on your site. We also permit re-branding of the QLR Manager header to provide a more seamless look and feel with your website, or for bundling with a product. In addition to launching QLR Manager nested in a frameset, the following link demonstrates the capability of bypassing the Connect panel and presenting a User Menu to run queries and macros.
