====Non-Traditional Reports====

The reporting engine can be used to produce //any// type of output that needs to be prepared on a schedule or requires analytics to be performed.

This isn't limited to PDF pages - you can output any kind of file you would like.

Ideas include...

* Interactive HTML reports, \\
* SVG animated reports, \\
* Audio reports using AI-driven Text-To-Speech \\
* PowerPoint presentations \\
* Excel files \\
* Videos \\

===Publishing Non-Traditional Reports===

PDF files do have one advantage - it's easy to package them together into a single document and transmit them as a single piece.

Instead of //mailing// your reports, the ARDI UI also allows you to **publish** them. This pushes them to a location of your choice.

These can include...

* Sharepoint or Teams document collections, \\
* Dropbox or Amazon storage, \\
* Content Management Systems \\
* Web and FTP sites \\
* Shared folders \\
* Group or project management systems \\

...or any other destination you might want to send your content to.
