Unit-3 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING LIBREOFFICE BASE
12 FORMS AND REPORTS
Forms and Reports in LibreOffice Base simplify data interaction and presentation. Forms provide user-friendly
interfaces for entering and editing data, while Reports display data in a structured format for analysis and
sharing. These tools help manage and present database information effectively.
FORMS
A form is a database object with a user-friendly interface for entering and viewing data in a visually appealing
and readable way. It serves as the front end for data entry and modification, displaying data in a custom
layout rather than a simple row-and-column format.
