Reports

The reports are elements that takes in data from a Neos source and extrapolates it in tables, charts, visual presentations, and other styles so that the information is easier to parse. Neos uses the Stimulsoft library. You can check the official documentation.

Tip

For programmatic access to reports using strongly-typed constants, see Typed IDs for Reports in Server Code for server-side usage, and Typed IDs for UI Elements for frontend usage patterns.
