QMF features

The QMF solution offers a robust set of business intelligence functions.

Relational and multidimensional queries

Creation of both relational and OLAP queries is facilitated by a variety of different query interfaces that are tailored to different skill and knowledge levels. Multidimensional analysis capabilities allow you to drill down through an unlimited number of levels of detail, exposing underlying information with each click.

Reports, charts, graphs, and maps

QMF offers an extremely flexible design environment for reports, allowing you to group, aggregate, and summarize data, add calculation expressions, and conditionally format the report depending on the query results. Dozens of visual elements can be embedded in reports by simply dragging the elements onto the report canvas, allowing you to create reports that are rich with graphical content, including charts, graphs, and maps. You can also save report formats as templates, applying them to different sets of query results to maximize reuse.

Dashboards

Dashboards provide a dynamic means of reviewing critical enterprise data. Unlike reports, which tend to contain a fixed amount of information, dashboards have the ability to deliver real-time information on demand, as needed by the dashboard user. QMF provides built-in methods of displaying query results, capturing user input, passing information to and from the dashboard, implementing and streamlining navigation, defining relationships between visual elements, and pointing to underlying data sources.
