• Create flexible reports using the frame-based report builder with features such as prompts, pick-lists and filters, and grouping, sorting and formatting capabilities.

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide range of data sources. Users can select and link tables from a variety of data sources, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Oracle databases, Business Objects Enterprise business views, and local file system information.

Crystal Reports allows flexible, customisable report design. Using this tool, users can:

• Generate interactive dashboards and report visualizations without the need for any coding.
• Produce and send reports that can be viewed read-only, so that users are not able to modify reports.
• Use formatting and conditional formatting.
• Use the advanced reporting options to, among the other available features, select, sort, group and summarise database records in a report.
• Create summaries and calculations.
• Create sub-reports, graphs, cross tab reports, and much more.
