The DataWindow plug-in is a browser plug-in that displays Powersoft reports (PSRs).
A PSR is a static DataWindow; it cannot be modified and the data does not stay current. However, a PSR is a compact representation of the DataWindow definition and data and can be downloaded efficiently. It is an efficient means of viewing batch-produced reports.
The user cannot modify or update the data.
The plug-in executable must be installed in the browser plug-in directory. It cannot be downloaded and installed automatically. The plug-in works in Netscape browsers. Internet Explorer browsers prior to version 5.5 also support the plug-in.
DataWindow behavior that would compromise security of the client, such as SaveAs, is not disabled.
You can use PowerBuilder or InfoMaker to create PSRs.
