What is Crystal Reports?

Crystal Reports is a powerful, dynamic, actionable reporting solution that allows you to design, explore, visualise, and deliver reports via the web or embedded in enterprise applications.

Course Description

This class covers the essential skills needed to write reports from data in the organisation. Students will learn how to modify existing reports or create new reports from scratch. They will be able to view the results online or make them available for printing or export to others in various formats such as Excel and Word. While a database is the most usual datasource, students will see how to report from other datasources.

Prerequisites

Ideally, students will be familiar with using Windows applications like MS Word and MS Excel although a high level of expertise is not required.  Anyone with a background in MS Access or other database management tools will have the best background to understand linking tables. For those without an Access background, the essential points about join types and linking fields are explained in an easily understood way.

Who Should Take This Course

As well as those in IT whose job it will be to write reports, this is also for anyone who does not want to wait for their IT Department to find time to write reports for them. If you want to report on the wealth of information stored in your database or want to make simple changes to reports you currently receive, Crystal Reports is the most widely used report designer worldwide.  Recommended for: report designers, IT professionals, database administrators, power users, application developers, accountants, and marketing managers.
