Impress
Impress allowed users to easily retrieve, analyze and present data from relational databases. What sets Impress apart from other reporting applications was this: it's both easy enough for a standard user and flexible enough ro accommodate every type of report. This was a major departure from standard report writers, which are either so inflexible chat they handle only a very limited variety of reports or are so complex that they require a programmer in order to produce a report.
Impress was able to deliver both ease of use and flexibility because it provided a small set of general concepts that solve a large range of needs, These paradigms are quickly mastered, and their wide application made them suitable co users of all levels of expertise.
Impress's features were accessed by such well-known metaphors as dragging and dropping, and palettes of elements. An object-oriented scripting language performs calculations and fills the elements with data. With these simple but impressive tools, a user could create payroll reports. phone lists, labels, form letters, reference materials, and corporate annual reports.
