Description of the Crystal Report Viewers

The Crystal report viewers allow you to view reports, navigate through multiple pages, refresh data, drill down to see details behind charts and summarized data, select parameters, and so on. They also have powerful printing and exporting capabilities.

The online Crystal report viewers support ActiveX, Java, and a no-downloading web alternative. Typically, your BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator selects the viewer type that is best suited to your company's needs. However, you can also manually select your preferred viewer type through the Crystal Reports preferences page. (For more information, see Crystal Reports preferences.)

You can also view your reports when you are not connected to BusinessObjects Enterprise. For more information, see the Crystal Reports Viewer.

Some features of the Crystal report viewers may be disabled by your BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator. Contact your administrator for more information.
