The data that Crystal Reports gathers can be used in a multitude of report types, including list reports, mailing label reports, customer letters, financial analysis, activity and even summaries, et cetera.Lesson 2: Getting Started in Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports does not allow you to enter data into the program. All data used to create reports with the program must be from other data sources, such as databases or Excel spreadsheets.Lesson 3: Learning the Basics of Crystal Reports
The design of your report begins with the way you set up your page. The way you set up your page will define the paper size, the orientation, the units of measurement, and the margins.Lesson 4: Applying Formatting to a Report
Earlier in this course, we told you that each row of data in your report makes up one Details section in your report. This means if you have 100 rows of data, you have 100 Details sections.Lesson 5: Special Data Fields
