More information. 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. SAP Crystal Reports will offer you all the tools you need to create and manage reports professionally.
Here are some key features of 'SAP Crystal Reports': SAP Crystal Dashboard Design integration: - Visualize the potential outcome of your business decisions with what-if scenario models built in your report file. Import SAP Crystal Dashboard Design-generated SWF files into your report and benefit from improved design-time integration. IT and developers will design fewer reports to support the decision making process. Please note: SAP Crystal Dashboard Design tool is not included in SAP Crystal Reports. Adobe Flex integration: - Execute business decisions from within the report file. Integrate your reports with operational workflows by embedding Adobe Flex (SWF) applications into your reports.
Using Adobe Flex Builder you can create any business user UI to access report data and integrate with external Web services. Data in your report can be passed to the Flex application via Flashvars, making it easy to create a flexible UI even when you don't have access to your data via Web services.
The Flex applications enable you to perform tasks such as database write-back – invoking operational workflows directly within SAP Crystal Reports. IT and developers benefit from instant, coding-free integration of SAP Crystal Reports with your business processes. Please note: Adobe Flex Builder is not included in SAP Crystal Reports. Parameter panel: - The report designer and the.NET Winform and.NET Webform viewers have a parameter panel that allows you to set parameter values without refreshing data. The parameters are displayed directly on the panel, so you can easily see them, make changes, and have new values applied directly to the saved data.
