Report object management
This section explains report objects and instances, and how to manage them through the Crystal Management Console (CMC). Managing report objects includes applying processing extensions, specifying alert notification, changing database information, updating parameters, using filters, and working with hyperlinked reports.
Note:
- When you update a report object from the CMC, your changes affect users who schedule and view reports through Crystal Enterprise; for instance, if you change the parameter settings for a report object in the CMC, when users schedule and view reports through a web-based client such as the Crystal Enterprise web desktop or a custom web application, the parameter information will be changed for them as well. As such, if you want to update the settings of a report object without changing the settings of the report object and its instances permanently, then schedule the reports through the web desktop or a custom web application. For information on the Crystal Enterprise web desktop, see the Crystal Enterprise User's Guide.
- Crystal Enterprise supports reports created in versions 6 through 10 of Crystal Reports. Once published to Crystal Enterprise, reports are saved, processed, and displayed in version 10 format.
