SAP Crystal Reports software enables you to easily design interactive reports and connect them to virtually any data source. Your users can benefit from on-report sorting and filtering – giving them the power to execute decisions instantly.
And with SAP Crystal Reports Dashboard Design package, you can gain even more functionality for compelling reports. This bundled product includes SAP Crystal Reports and SAP Crystal Dashboard Design ( formerly known as Xcelsius Engage), giving you the power to create highly formatted reports with what-if scenario models, interactive charts – and deliver them via the Web, e-mail, Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, or embedded in enterprise applications. As a result, you can leverage your reports to make better operational and strategic decisions.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 11.0
Crystal Reports is an awesome application that helps you create, edit and manage your business reports. All you have to do is select columns and rows from a database such as Sybase, Ingres, Microsoft Access, MySQL, Interbase or Oracle. Then, you can select the format of your report from a simple column of values to pie charts, bar charts or cross-tab summary tables. The report is saved as an RPT file. It can be previewed on the screen, printed or exported to other formats such as PDF, Excel or CSV. Furthermore, you can create brilliant visualizations by adding video, animated charts and dynamic graphics to your reports. You can choose the language you want during the process of installation, and, if you need to work with a different language to create your presentation, you can change it in the report designer UI. End users can run Crystal reports with different viewers, schedulers and report distribution tools. Besides, Crystal reports can also be managed and run from a web portal like Business Objects Enterprise, Business Objects Crystal Decisions and Crystal Reports Server. |
