Building FX Reports

Basics

There are two types of FX Reports:

  1. PDF Report

    Outputs in PDF format and uses XML markup to control layout.

  2. HTML Report

    Outputs in HTML format and uses HTML markup to control layout.

HTML reports are deprecated and will not receive any additional enhancements. Existing HTML reports continue to function. LiquidFrameworks strongly recommends using the Report Template builder in the Admin Portal to create new PDF reports.

Setup

Use the Admin Portal’s Report Template and its report wizard to create new PDF reports.
