                   REPORT

                 In LibreOffice Base, reports help you to analyse and interpret data. Reports present data in a structured
                 and visually appealing format, making it easier to communicate findings to others, including non-technical
                 stakeholders.  They  provide  the  necessary  information  to  make  informed  decisions  by  summarising  or
                 displaying information in a format suitable for viewing or publishing. Reports are used to present results in
                 a meaningful and useful manner and can obtain information from tables or queries. Additionally, reports are
                 printed to share information.
