Templates : They are predefined format of the report which you can re-use to create multiple reports with the same design look and feel. The way to create a Template is the create a normal BO report format it the way you want it with the colour font size font colour border thickness and all. Now save this report with a .ret extension. Next time when you choose to create a report from the template you will see your template in the list as well...you can just use it and fill in the data and you can have multiple reports with the same look.

DataProviders are the source of data from which the report is being created. It can either be a Univers a Free Hand SQL Exel file txt documents etc.

Free Hand SQL is a type of dataprovider which can be accessed form the Personal Files option on the Specify Data Access Window in the report generation wizard. Using Free Hand SQL you can use you oqn SQL Script to generate a report. Free Hand SQL connect directly to the database and can fetch data from the DB to generate the reports.
