New reports are a snap as report experts guide you through connecting to your data, selecting fields and records, sorting and comprehensive formatting and layout features. 

Use advanced features such as grouping and sorting to create a report to meet your precise needs.

Build virtually any report you can imagine: subreports, conditional reports, summary reports, cross-tabs, form reports, multiple details, mailing labels and more!

Examine trends, expose relationships or zero in on important facts with features including charting, geographic mapping, field highlighting and an interactive analysis window. Use sub-reports, formulas running totals and customizable cross-tabs to perform further analysis. Interactively zoom in, drill down or alter graphs and maps to examine items of interest. 

Smart Navigation lets you quickly navigate to specific details via a page-on-demand interface that presents a summary of the report. 

Jump to the section of the report you need to analyze using an automatically generated group tree.

Users with compatible browsers can view live, presentation-quality reports using either Java or ActiveX-based Smart Viewers with full navigation and local export capabilities. True multi-platform client support is provided with additional plain and frames-based HTML viewers.

Connect to over 30 different types of OLAP, SQL and PC databases using supported native, ODBC and OLE-DB connectivity.

Use the Document Import Tool to transfer layout and data from existing text-based reports into Seagate Crystal Reports for one-time or ongoing reporting off of legacy data. 

The Field Mapping Tool saves you time by migrating existing reports from old or prototype databases to new or changed ones. 

Conserve network resources with on-demand subreports to reduce report processing. Subreports are displayed as an icon in the main report and only run when double-clicked. 

Speed up reporting from large volumes of data with server-side processing that performs grouping, sorting and other operations on the SQL database server, not on the desktop. 

An enhanced file format creates smaller files with faster compressions and more efficient storage of complex reports containing subreports. 

Export your report to popular formats including Microsoft Word and Excel, HTML or even e-mail. Compile reports into standalone applications for interactive viewing, distribute reports via the Web or just print them out as hard copies! 

Integrate seamless, royalty-free reporting into your Visual Basic, VC++, VJ++, Java and Delphi applications through ActiveX, VBX, VCL, MFC or Automation Server interfaces. Create, view and modify reports right in Visual Basics using the Report Designer Component. Or use the Crystal Active Server component to integrate the Crystal Reports Engine directly into Active Server Pages.
