What is a dataset?

A dataset is a collection of information; it's a thoughtfully organized and structured collection of data that serves as the basis for creating reports that can aid in informed decision-making.

 

FastReport uses datasets that are created by passing SQL queries to the database server that Dispatch is connected to.

 

While FastReports loads, Dispatch loads the SQL queries located in a specific folder and creates a corresponding dataset for each query it finds.

 

Dispatch includes over a dozen standard datasets. You are free to edit them and create your own new queries.
