Report Forms are text documents rich in details about your solution. They can be saved to disk as text or PDF files, or displayed directly within the solution.

Forms Configuration
You create text, formatting, and values using the text editor. To create or edit a report:
- Go to Reports / Forms.
- Select a report name or select the insert row (first row) to create a new report.
- Enter or select information, as needed.
To change the report format between “portrait” and “landscape”, you need to change it in both NovaPDF (printer used by our Platform ) and the target printer.
Forms Usage at Runtime
Using a configured Form in the Reports Modules at runtime is straightforward. Add a ReportViewer to a display and configure it by inserting the path of the target form in the ReportViewer configuration item using the following syntax: Report.Form.Test. The ReportViewer is a graphical component designed to display Report Forms configured in the Reports module. To use it, navigate to Displays/Draw, select the Viewers WPF Only category, choose ReportViewer, and place it on the Drawing area by clicking or dragging and dropping. Double-click the object to configure it, then enter the path to access the target configured form in the Reports Module, such as 'Report.Form.Test'.
Refer to ReportViewer Control for more details.
