This object is used to display data to the users. Pages allow the users to add records to a table, and to view and modify the records. Pages can also be exposed as web services so that the other applications can also read, insert, modify, or delete data, just like the users do. |

These objects are mostly used to summarize and print detailed information by using filters and sorting, selected by the users. On some occasions, reports are also used to batch process data. |
