A Simplified Database 

To use most reporting systems you have to know how your database is structured, what the field names mean, and how to make joins. But most business users don't know this, nor do they want to. Walkabout captures this knowledge in a Knowledge Base that provides a business view of the database in plain English. 

The Knowledge Base means you don't need to understand data structures, the relationship between tables or SQL. You don't need to define joins in every query; in fact you won't need any further technical assistance to create unlimited queries. Your database is almost certainly very complex, but Walkabout's Knowledge Base allows you to simplify it by including joins, views, embedded objects and much more. 

In addition, links to other applications allow you to access Walkabout from another Progress system and even export the results of your queries into spreadsheets and word processors for a complete reporting solution.
