ReCrystallize Pro's interview process makes
it easy to select options and publish your Crystal Reports.
|
| |
 |
| Step 1:
Begin by selecting your Crystal Report file.
|
 |
| Step 2:
Next, choose either the Crystal Web
Component Server (Crystal Enterprise), Active Server Pages with the
Report Designer Component (RDC), or Active Server Pages with Crystal
Enterprise Embedded.
ReCrystallize Pro is designed for Crystal Reports
versions 7, 8.0, 8.5, 9, 10, XI, and XI R2.
|
 |
| Step 3:
You may display data that was saved in the Crystal
Report file or to retrieve new information from your database each
time the report is run.
|
 |
Step 4:
Example 1
If you have selected to run your report with live data,
fill in information about about your data
source. When using ASP, this information is kept secure on your
web server.
This example shows information for a typical Oracle database using ODBC with the Crystal Web
Component Server.
|
 |
| Step 4: Example 2
This example shows information for a typical SQL
Server database using ASP.
Other database types including
Microsoft Access and Visual FoxPro are also supported. |
|
Step 5:
Example 1
When using live data, choose how you would like to set
each of your report
parameters.
Values such as the current date or current
user name can be supplied automatically.
|
|
 |
Step 5:
Example 2
Users can select a parameter value by choosing from a
list of values in your database. This ensures that your parameter
selection options are up-to-date and prevents errors or misspellings.
|
 |
 |
| If you wish to have the user supply a value
for one or more parameters, ReCrystallize Pro will produce a web page for the
user to select these values.
These web pages may be easily customized.
|
|
 |
| Step 6:
If desired, you may supply a Record Selection Formula to
limit the data returned to the user.
When you use Active Server Pages, the formula you supply can
replace the Record Selection Formula that was saved
with the report design or added to the existing formula.
|
 |
| Step 7:
Next, select how you would like to present
the report to the user. You can use the ActiveX, Java, or HTML
Viewers.
If you prefer, you can set the report to open directly
in Microsoft Word or Excel. Adobe PDF format is also available in
Crystal Reports versions 8.0 and higher.
|
 |
Step 8:
Example 1
With ReCrystallize Pro, you can decide which
features of the report viewer you wish to enable. For example, you may
wish to disable printing and exporting so that the user cannot easily save
a copy of the report.
Note: not all options are available for all
viewers.
|
 |
Step 8:
Example 2
If you choose to send the report by email,
you can provide details about how the message should be sent.
|
 |
| Step 9:
When you click Finish, ReCrystallize Pro creates web pages to run your report.
