In the swing GUI designer of eva/3 Application Builder surfaces can be built in modern layouts. Both prefabricated and self created components can be placed into a form. Numerous visual and functional properties of all components are editable in a property window.

To prepare data sets for printing the eva/3 Application Builder has an integrated report designer. It can group, filter and sort selected data and then print it or save as a PDF-file.
