Features
Data access
Access almost any kind of data with more than 35 data drivers, custom data access, and tight control over database
connectivity.
- More than 35 data drivers
Access virtually any data with native, ODBC, OLE DB, and JDBC connectivity to relational, OLAP, XML, legacy, and enterprise
data sources, including Oracle, IBM DB2, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, and Informix. In Crystal Reports XI, XML, JDBC, IBM
DB2, and Exchange data drivers have been updated to give you an incredible range of data access options.
- Custom data
Access user-defined (in-memory) application data by connecting to JavaBeans, ADO.NET, and COM Data Providers.
- Tight control over database connectivity
Write your own SQL commands or use the proven query generation capabilities of Crystal Reports for flexible control over
database connectivity.
- Multi-data source access
Connect to a unique data source or combine multiple data sources in one report.
- XML support
Integrate Crystal Reports with your B2B or B2C applications via XML data access or export.
- Unicode support
Use unicode strings to display data stored in almost any language and present multiple languages in a single report.
Formatting and design
Design professional-looking, interactive reports using features like the visual report designer and dynamic prompts.
- Dynamic and cascading prompts
Base report prompts on dynamic values. You will no longer need to maintain static prompt value lists within individual
reports because you can reuse existing prompts stored in the repository.
- Dependency checker
Use the dependency checker to instantly find broken links, formula errors, and dependency issues before reports are
published and distributed.
- Dynamic image location
Pictures and graphics can be placed in a report through a link in the database so that you no longer need to store images
within the database.
- Hierarchical grouping
Users can create their reports in a hierarchical rather than just a relational manner. This provides a better fit for
organizational charts and summary reports.
- Visual report designer
Quickly design interactive reports using an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface and object-oriented explorers.
- Experts and wizards
Use optional experts and wizards to simplify common reporting tasks such as connecting to a data source, selecting,
grouping, sorting, and summarizing data.
- Any report type
Create virtually any report you need including cross-tab, conditional, top N/bottom N, summary/drill-down, form, mailing
label, OLAP, and subreport.
- Charting and mapping
Increase the graphical impact of your reports by choosing from a wide variety of map and chart types, including bar/3D bar,
pie/doughnut, line, gantt, gauge, funnel, XY scatter, ranged map, dot density map, and more.
- Drag-and-drop charting and cross tabs
For intelligent charting where Crystal Reports will select the best chart style based upon the data in your report. Chart
design is faster and easier because charts will be automatically updated when new variables are added.
- Reusable report objects
Expedite the report design process by storing key report objects - including text objects, SQL commands, bitmaps, and custom
functions (formulas) - in a central managed library for sharing, reuse, and single-point updating across multiple reports.
- Customizable templates
Spend less time formatting individual reports. Design and apply customized templates that specify standards in formatting
and logic - including data access operations - to ensure design consistency across reports. You can even use existing
reports as templates.
- Powerful formula language
Use the extensive formula language in Crystal Reports with over 160 built-in and user-defined functions and operators to
tightly control report formatting, complex logic, and data selection. A call-stack makes debugging data-level errors easy. A
formula extractor and formula workshop are also included.
- Custom functions
Eliminate redundant formula creation. Extract business logic from formulas to create custom functions so you can use them
across multiple reports.
- Asymmetric reporting
Provide a customized view of OLAP grids. With asymmetric reporting, you can hide specific dimensions of data so that end
users only see relevant and valuable data.
- Access and Excel add-ins
Use an intuitive wizard to easily design a Crystal report from within Microsoft Access or Excel.
- Workbench and Repository Explorer
Users can easily browse, build, and publish object packages so they can schedule, manage, and secure a group of reports
together rather than one report at a time. With the Workbench, users can keep projects organized by grouping reports
according to preference. The Repository Explorer simplifies navigation within the BusinessObjects Enterprise system.
- Designer improvements
Designing reports is easier with the start page that appears each time you open Crystal Reports. The updated visual report
designer allows you to point and click so you can create reports without the need for intensive coding.
- Report Design Zone
A resource-rich site for your report creation and design projects. Filled with a changing supply of demos, white papers,
tips, and tricks, it's an invaluable resource for users and developers evaluating Crystal Reports.
Report viewing and interaction
Make it easy for your end users to view and work with their reports by customizing them to match their needs.
- HTML Preview
Report authors can publish perfect reports by previewing how reports will look before they are published to the web.
- Report Export Configuration
Save report export configuration with a report so that end users forgo the time and trouble of reconfiguring the export each
time the report is run.
- RTF Export Format
For report export editing and optimized accuracy and forms processing. The end user is now able to enhance and expand a
report in standard work processing applications.
- N Value for Top N Style Reports
Parameterized control for N value for top N style reports means that a single report will meet the needs of multiple users.
This will reduce the total number of reports that are created and supported. # Multiple export formats. Provide end users
with reports in the format they prefer. Export reports to popular formats, including Excel, PDF, XML, HTML, RTF, and more.
- Customizable report viewers
Choose from a variety of server-side and thin-client report viewer controls, including DHTML page (WebForms) viewer, .NET
WinForms viewer, Java viewer, ActiveX, and Report Part viewer (mobile viewer), to render reports into various output formats
without additional coding. End user report interactivity options - including page forward/back, drill up/down, export, and
print - are automatically included and can be customized based on your requirements.
- Parameters
Let users view the same data in different ways without creating multiple reports. End users can select predefined parameters
in a single report to receive a subset of customized data.
- Alerting
Highlight specific information for your end users with report alerts - user-defined messages that appear when certain
conditions are met by the data in a report.
- Guided navigation
Define specific navigation paths between report objects within the same or different reports for easier end user navigation.
- Hyperlinks
Use hyperlinks to turn reports into interactive web documents that connect to related information, including web sites and
other reports.
- Drill-down
Without additional coding, create reports that allow end users to drill down on relational and OLAP data to uncover details
that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Report parts
Repurpose existing reports for use with wireless devices and corporate portals. Provide end users with access to charts,
summary tables, specific records, and other key report information via portals, WML phones, RIM Blackberry, and Compaq iPAQ
devices.

Insert key report objects - including charts and tables - into Microsoft Outlook, Word, or Excel for instant viewing and
refreshing from within an Office document.
Application integration
Use Crystal Reports to add report viewing, creation, and modification capabilities your applications.
- Interface SDKs
Use the comprehensive interface SDKs in Crystal Reports within J2EE, .NET, and COM applications for flexible control over
how end users interact with reports. Choose from a variety of report viewing, creation, and modification APIs to implement a
range of interactivity capabilities - from static report processing/viewing to complex runtime report creation/modification.
- Reporting components
Embed the powerful Java, .NET, and COM reporting components in Crystal Reports within your application for powerful report
processing and rendering.
