Documenting
Starting Report Analyzer for work
on your Crystal Reports couldn't be easier. Simply indicate where
your reports are stored:
You can import your report designs
into Report Analyzer from Windows or Crystal Enterprise servers.
Report Analyzer painstakingly analyzes and documents each report
design element, and updates the documentation database accordingly.
Exploring Documentation
Once documented, the main window
profiles each Crystal Report's design for exploration. From here you
can view property settings for all design elements, performance and
design suggestions, a report diagram, all formula code and all
object cross references.
Selecting an object in the diagram displays the associated
information in the tabbed windows below (Properties, Suggestions,
and so on).
Querying Documentation
The query window allows you to
query the documentation database to assist change management
control. From here, you can perform "What-If" analysis to determine
the impact changes to a database or other report settings will have
on your entire reporting project.
Reporting Documentation
The report window allows you to
print documentation about your reporting projects. Report Analyzer
comes with over 65 documentation reports, providing a wealth of
information about your report designs. These presentation quality
reports are ideal for documentation, assisting in development, and
quality review.
