Download DataPallas

1. Download the latest version:
   DataPallas.zip

2. Extract the zip file to your preferred location
   Example: C:/DataPallas
   (Tip: Use a simple path like C:/DataPallas instead of C:/Program Files/DataPallas for easier access)

Java Setup (Prerequisite)

DataPallas requires Java 17 or higher. Follow these installation steps only if Java is not already installed on your computer.

1. Run as Administrator

   
   

   

   
   

2. DataPallas automatically detects missing Java and offers installation

   
   

   

   
   

   Proceed by clicking Install Java

3. Installing Chocolatey

   Java has no built-in one-click installer, so DataPallas installs it for you using Chocolatey — the standard Windows package manager. DataPallas sets up Chocolatey first, then uses it to install Java.

   
   

   

   
   

   Click Install Chocolatey.

   
   

   

   
   

   Click Yes and wait patiently for Chocolatey to install (this message confirms that the Chocolatey installation is complete)

   
   

   

   
   

   Chocolatey installation is now complete

   Once Chocolatey is installed, restart DataPallas

4. Installing Java

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   Click (again) Install Java to proceed

   
   

   

   
   

   Click Install Java once more

   
   

   

   
   

   Click Yes and wait patiently for the Java installation to complete

   Once Java installation is complete, restart DataPallas and experience its automation magic.

   
   

   

   
   

Burst & Email a Sample Report - Payslips.pdf

DataPallas includes a sample three-page samples/Payslips.pdf document (in the samples folder). When you burst this report, DataPallas generates one output file for each employee found in it — and can email every file straight to that person:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Please check/click the samples/Payslips.pdf report to see how the burst tokens are defined like email addresses delimited by curly brackets, { and }

1. Launch DataPallas

   
   

   

   
   

2. Select Your Document

   
   

   

   
   

3. Let's go with Payslips.pdf sample report

   
   

   

   
   

   Here we demonstrate with monthly payslips, but the exact same workflow works just as well for invoices, financial statements, or any recurring document type.

   
   

4. Start Processing

   
   

   

   
   

5. Watch the Magic Happen

   
   

   

   
   

6. Review Results

   
   

   

   
   

   Processing is complete! You can now review detailed statistics for all distributed files

   
   

   

   
   

   This example generated three output files—one for each employee—named after their email address (configurable).

   The same workflow works perfectly for invoices, financial statements, or any other document type, and can handle thousands of individual payslips, invoices, or reports for your customers and partners.

More Ideas

Almost every business leader says the same thing: "our business data is our most important asset." So ask them — then why send that data to the cloud just to get a few dashboards back? The honest answer is usually "because there's no good BI platform you can easily self-host — the best ones are all cloud-only."

Fair enough — until DataPallas.

DataPallas is lightweight, modern BI and document automation — not a bulky legacy reporting suite to install and maintain.

• Modern embedded dashboards and analytics — build interactive dashboards and explore your data directly.
• Own it, host it, run it yourself — your business data never leaves your servers just to get a few dashboards.
• End-to-end automation — go from the database straight to documents that are generated and delivered to your customers. Build your own customer portal, send documents, and accept payments.

Here are a few screenshots showing how DataPallas helps you do all of this.

Configure Bursting — fine-tune how each report is distributed: by email or any other channel (Configuration ▸ Bursting).

Generate Reports — easily configure how to generate beautiful invoices, payslips, bills, statements, student reports, or any other document type you need (Configuration ▸ Reports, Connections & Cubes).

Explore Data & Build Dashboards — connect to Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse and more, then build interactive BI dashboards.

Customer Portal — stand up a self-service web portal where your customers log in to receive their documents and make payments.
