Indigo DRS can export and save Report elements using Indigo DRS RDL (Report Definition Language). Elements can be exported using the Export Wizard or saved from the RDL Editor / Viewer. Exported RDL will be saved with an XML File extension.
Indigo DRS RDL (Report Definition Language) is an XML vocabulary using a flexible machine readable Markup Language to define and describe Report structure, elements, functionality, content and Data. It represents a standard for creating complex and interchangeable Reports between Indigo DRS Systems and also maximises content reuse and modularity.
