Description

• SAP Crystal Reports - popular design features

  SAP Crystal Reports software lets you create compelling reports with stunning visualizations, benefit from comprehensive report deployment options, and enable better-informed decisions for all employees, all while saving development time with improved, integrated, report-design tools. SAP Crystal Reports software is a powerful, dynamic, and actionable reporting solution that helps you design, explore, visualize, and deliver reports for person use, via the Web or by building them into custom applications. Users can consume reports with stunning visualizations, conduct on-report business modeling, and execute decisions instantly from the report itself - reducing dependency on IT and developer resources.

• Hyperlinking wizard

  Designers save time by automatically creating the formulas required to hyperlink to a document stored in SAP Crystal Reports Server, SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, or SAP BusinessObjects Edge Business Intelligence (BI) software.

• Built-in bar-code support

  Report designers can generate bar codes with only a few mouse clicks by using the "turn to bar code" function in the context menu. They can convert fields to Code 39 bar codes without any coding or extra steps. Additional bar-code fonts are available from third-party vendors.

• Parameter panel

  Report designers build panels into their reports prior to publishing them. Parameters are displayed on the panel so that report consumers can find them readily, make changes, and have the values applied directly to the saved data (without refreshing data).

• Powerful cross-tabs

  Custom row and column calculations can be inserted into a cross-tab, which is useful for reports that benefit from a table structure. The cross-tab table structure makes reports much faster to build and maintain.

• Flexible pagination

  Report designers can customize page size and page breaks. A single report can combine portrait and landscape page formats, and the white space at the end of groups can be removed by compressing page footers.

• Enhanced designer features

  Designers can be more productive with features like global formula search, duplicate formula, duplicate running total, autocomplete field names, and the "find in field explorer" feature.

• Data-driven publishing

  You can publish personalized reports such as invoices, statements, and marketing materials to thousands of recipients in a single publishing session. Also known as report bursting, data-driven publishing allows IT personnel to create multiple reports based on different data sources, personalized for each recipient, combined into a single file (such as Adobe PDF), and distributed to a dynamic list of recipients - all with a single action. Content can be archived, printed, or e-mailed. This makes scheduling faster and easier and gives you the ability to conduct cost-effective, one-on-one marketing campaigns and personalized high-volume reporting.

• Web services data driver

  Integrating with various Web services can be difficult and complex due to a variety of implementation types. This data driver offers additional Web access to Web services by providing support for remote procedure call (RPC) encoding of SOAP messages, SSL-secured Web servers, and compatibility with Web Services Security (WS-Security) protocol. It adapts to custom logon requirements such as e-mail address or username and password. Developers combine the flexibility of XML and Web services with report formatting and visualization to deliver reports that link data to interactive data mashups, such as integration with third-party mapping systems.
