NeXtract Data Mining Tool

With NeXtract, there is no need to generate custom programs to extract data for analysis purposes.

NeXtract gives you the ability to rejuvenate data that is stored on a report by reconditioning it back into digital data. You can the process it in new ways with general purpose applications such as Excel or Microsoft Access.

NeXtract eliminates the need to manually copy data from a report into another program. With the press of a button, you can extract the information stored in any of your LaserVault reports for analysis purposes.

NeXtract is perfect for end users, since there is no need to generate custom programs to extract needed data. Instead, end users can generate their own data extraction templates quickly and easily using NeXtract's WYSIWYG template editor. Simply print the report to a disk file instead of on paper. NeXtract reads that report and applies a data extraction template to convert the print characters into data fields.
NeXtract data extractions can be automated, so a single click of the mouse does the report-to-spreadsheet transformation instantly. After the report extraction is complete, the data can be manipulated as desired.

Extraction Templates - Create templates to tell NeXtract exactly what information to extract from a report. Selecting information to extract is as simple as highlighting a field and clicking a button. Templates can be saved and reused. Watch a flash tutorial on this feature

Data Preview Options - You can use the Data Preview screen to view the data that you have extracted from the report. You can sort, filter, and format the data using the data preview options. Sorting and formatting options are stored with the template. Watch a flash tutorial on this feature

Print Preview Options - Use the Print Preview options to format your extracted data for printing. You can define the printer orientation, margins, font and font size. Watch a flash tutorial on this feature
