FastReports

There is only an incoming FastReports transport type.

The transport type has two actions:

Generate a report every time the transport runs. Any transport parameters are also passed as report parameters.

Run a query specified in the transport settings. The query cannot take any parameters.

Each table returned by the query will generate a new report.

Each row returned by the query represents a parameter. Each row should have the following columns:

If 0, this parameter will be passed to the report.

if 1, this parameter represents a field on the message. Supported message fields are To, CC, BCC, Subject, From.

The transport supports the following settings:

Action: REPORT or QUERYREPORT
Report Path: The path to the FastReports report template on the engine server.
Connection String: The string to connect to the database if running a QUERYREPORT.
Procedure Name: The name of the procedure to run if running a QUERYREPORT.
Export Type: What format to export the report as. Currently supported options are .pdf and .html
Message Content Type: One message is generated per report. This setting determines whether the report is the message attachment, body, or text body.

If opening the PDF on some machines displays unreadable text, you may need to embed backup fonts.

FastReports will do this automatically if you install the fonts on the Engine server.

You can check the fonts in a PDF (and download them), with any PDF software or a variety of online tools.
