While FlexReport for UWP can be used in various scenarios, the key steps relevant in most of those scenarios are:

1. Creating a report definition - This can be done using the C1FlexReportDesigner desktop application. The .FLXR report definition file created by the designer needs to be made available to the application's runtime, so that it can be loaded into the C1FlexReport component. Alternatively, the report definition can be created completely at runtime in code, using the rich object model of the C1FlexReport component.
2. Providing data for the report - The report definition must be created keeping in mind the data sources available to the UWP version. At runtime, once the report definition has been loaded into the C1FlexReport component, the data must be accessible so the report can generate. Note that the report is generated completely on the client. See below for details on the available data sources.
3. Render and output the report - Typically, the report will be generated for one of the following targets:
   • Preview: Simply assigning the C1FlexReport to the C1FlexViewer.DocumentSource property will generate the report and show it in the FlexViewer. Also, the UI of the FlexViewer control allows to print or export the report interactively.
   • Print: The report can be rendered and then printed directly using the C1DocumentSource.ShowPrintUIAsync method.
   • Export: The report can be rendered directly into one of the supported formats such as PDF, HTML etc. using C1FlexReport.RenderToFilter, C1FlexReport.RenderToFilterAsync or C1FlexReport.RenderToFilterAsyncEx method.
