Create interactive charts and dashboards for data visualization

Generate and send PDF reports based on application data

Generate comprehensive reports from application data

Create unique logins for every user accessing applications with comprehensive access control features

Create unique user roles with custom permissions for database records, tables, and UI features assigned through point-and-click interface

Authenticate end users via Single-Sign On integration as an alternative to password-based authentication

Create custom business logic to automate tasks, streamline data entry, or create workflows using JavaScript and TypeScript functions
