• Allows you to produce the report
you want from virtually any data
source.
• Designed to help analyze and
interpret important information.
• Used to produce simple, complex
or specialized reports
Crystal Reports – An Overview
4. ď‚–

Benefits of Crystal Reports XI R2

There are five phases of report design.
• Define the concept
• Sourcing the data
• Creating the design
• Developing and testing the design
• Deploying and operating the report
Phases of Report Design
7. ď‚–
• Beginning with the end in mind
• Have some idea to the final report to look
like(i.e a Prototype)
• Prototype can be a simple Crystal Report or
Excel sheet or Word Document
Defining the concept
8. ď‚–
• Determine where the data for your report
resides
• (a database, file etc)
• Determine relations between data
• A common problem here is that the data you
want to include does not exist or relation do
not exist
Sourcing the data
9. ď‚–
The best report is one that is completed on
paper and is then recreated using Crystal
Reports
Revisit your prototype and decide which of
the fields in the report are
Directly from database
Calculated from database fields
Formula fields
Creating the Design
10. ď‚–
ď‚™Input your data and test the report on different
platforms
ď‚™Any performance issues, revisit your report
design
ď‚–Check relations/constraints (for any
cartesian)
ď‚–Check query for performance improvement
ď‚–Put option of Grouping on Server
ď‚–Eliminate Unused Formulas
Developing and Testing the Design
11. ď‚–
The last step in this process is to consider how your
report is going to be used
Will it be exported ? If yes, where ?
ď‚– Excel (.xls)
ď‚– Word (.doc)
ď‚– Acrobat (.pdf)
ď‚– Rich Text Format (.RTF)
ď‚– XML
ď‚– Text
ď‚– Separated Values (.CSV)
Will the generated report be mailed/stored in
centralized location/web-based ?
Deploying and operating the report
