Viewing Crystal reports

When you click a Crystal report, the report appears in a viewer. The type of viewer you have determines which tasks you can perform.

Crystal report viewers

Use Crystal report viewers to view reports, navigate multiple pages, refresh data, drill down to details behind charts and summarized data, select parameters, print, and export data.

Crystal report viewers support ActiveX, Java, and web-only viewing formats. Typically, your system administrator selects the viewer type that is best suited to your company’s needs. However, you can manually select a viewer in the BI launch pad preferences. Some features of Crystal report viewers may be disabled by your administrator. For more information, contact your administrator.

You can use Crystal report viewers to display reports even when you are not logged on to the BI platform.

For online access to Crystal reports through the Central Management Console (CMC), use the default DHTML web viewer. Do not use the legacy Java viewer, which does not provide the same functionality as the DHTML viewer.
