Syncfusion, Inc.
About the Developer Portal
After nearly two decades of developing an ecosystem of compatible developer control suites, embeddable BI platforms, and business software, Syncfusion discovered a need to simplify how enterprises create, store, and share vital business reports. With this in mind, Syncfusion concentrated its efforts on Bold Reports, a web-based report management solution that handles the minutiae, so you can see the big picture.
Make and edit reports with the Report Designer, which leverages Syncfusion’s UI expertise to provide dozens of report items, interactive features, appealing styles, and customizable formatting options. Then, use the Report Server to publish and export your reports, manage their access permissions, and deliver them to users on the web. When reports are available anywhere, pertinent stakeholders can collaborate to make better business decisions.
To support customers in transforming the way they present their data, the Bold Reports team built a robust archive of easy-to-navigate information. Within the developer portal, our team has developed an extensive library of documentation that covers the full range of features and functionalities within the platform. This documentation spans across diverse types of applications, ensuring that developers have all the resources they need to effectively use Bold Reports in web, desktop, and cloud environments.
The developer portal serves as a vital resource for those leveraging Bold Reports’ components, offering detailed documentation, code samples, and tutorials that help developers maximize the potential of the platform. This level of thorough documentation and support is consistent across all platforms supported by Bold Reports. Whether addressing data visualization, report generation, or integration into enterprise solutions, Bold Reports’ documentation is crafted to be user-friendly, comprehensive, and efficient, enabling developers to quickly find the information they need to create robust, scalable solutions.
