About Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports is designed to work with your database to help you analyze
and interpret important information. Crystal Reports makes it easy to create
simple reports, and, it also has the comprehensive tools you need to produce
complex or specialized reports.
Create any report you can imagine
Crystal Reports is designed to produce the report you want from virtually
any data source. Built-in report experts guide you step by step through
building reports and completing common reporting tasks. Formulas,
cross-tabs, subreports, and conditional formatting help make sense of data
and uncover important relationships that might otherwise be hidden.
Geographic maps and graphs communicate information visually when words
and numbers are simply not enough.
Extend reporting to the Web
The flexibility of Crystal Reports doesn't end with creating reports — your
reports can be published in a variety of formats including Microsoft Word
and Excel, E-mail and even over the Web. Advanced Web reporting lets
other members of your workgroup view and update shared reports inside
their web browser.
Incorporate reports into applications
Application and web developers can save time and meet their users needs
by integrating the report processing power of Crystal Reports into their
database applications. Support for most popular development languages
makes it easy to add reporting to any application.
