It is a fully incorporated, schedulable BI or reporting platform that lets you create both ad-hoc reports that may include visualizations, and export the output in different formats as desired. A changing selection of predefined reports is included with Advanced Reporting, while an unlimited number may be added under **User-Defined** reports, exported, imported, and shared!
