|
Features
Most of the features listed here first appeared in cView. Some report viewers don't include some of these features, and some of these features are missing in most other report viewers.
|
Administrator:
- File Associations. You can set cView as the default .rpt viewer. If you send a rpt with saved data, the user just clicks on the .rpt file to view it.
- Database Security. cView stores the database security information prior to processing the report. You can lock this away from users, so they never see the database password.
- Ease of Control. Manage a folder of .rpt files, and use the local network security to decide who can view which reports.
- Secure Subreports. If your report includes a subreport that requires a database password, cView can process it. Some Crystal Reports viewers can't.
This feature set can make a big difference in your organization. For example:
- Reduced TCO. Your total cost of ownership of your Business Intelligence system is drastically reduced because cView is inexpensive and easy to use..
- Inexpensive upgrade path.You're going to upgrade your version of Crystal Reports some time. Why not make that process inherently cost-effective with a desktop-based viewing solution?
- Ease in scalability. cView makes it easy to add seats to your business intelligence system. Just buy another licensing pack, and you're good to go. For repeat customers, we offer repeat purchase discounts and simple license management.
|
User:
- Desktop Shortcut. You can create a shortcut to run any .rpt file in cView with one click, a function easily accomplished by file association.
- Ease of Use. Using cView is as easy and simple as clicking a toolbar button, or using a menu to do a File/Open on a .rpt file.
- Interactive Parameters. If a report uses parameters, cView prompts the user with the questions and allows selecting answers from pick lists. cView supports all parameter types (e.g., multi-value, range, multi-value/range).
- One-click Print and Export. With one click of the toolbar, cView will print or export the report without requiring a preview.
- Output Flexibility. A viewed report can be exported to other formats including PDF, Excel, Word, XML, and csv. The results can be printed, emailed, or saved in a disk folder.
- Report Instances. cView can create an instance of your report. This is a report with saved data that you want to archive or store for later viewing.
- Set Print Date. You can set the print date so the reports process at a specific time.
- View History, Folder, and Instances. You can select a view of all the reports in a folder, the history of the last ten reports, or all the reports in the instances folder. Then you just select the report and can print, view, or export it.

Thus, it is a true Crystal Reports viewer that doesn't consign you to working with outdated information..
Once you've installed the cView license, you'll be able to modify many print settings and display settings. cView allows a user to dynamically change report file locations at run time. This works for data file based reports using FoxPro, Btrieve, or MS-Access

Easy to use. User calls to tech support are about nil.

- The user sees a simple screen with a list of reports.
- The user selects the desired report and clicks "view."
- cView displays the report.
If your users are comfortable using File/Open in other programs they have all the instructions they need to use all the features in cView. They find the Crystal Report and process it live against the database. For users who want even less interaction, cView can be set up to run their favorite report by clicking a desktop icon.
It really is that simple. Yet, cView is powerful and inexpensive.

FAQs
|
What is cView?
It is a report viewer that can view Crystal Reports in ways that other viewers cannot.
What is a report viewer?
Software that allows you to view reports developed by skilled Crystal Reports designers.
Who Needs a Report Viewer?
Users who want to see reports that were developed by a skilled Report Designer.
Crystal Reports is widely used to present information stored in company and personal databases. A Report Designer creates the report instructions to control the data selection and presentation of the report.
Rather than wait for the Report Designer to be available, other people can use cView to process the report when they want to.
Could they view reports any other way?
Yes. With Crystal Reports 7 and earlier, the Report Designer could create compiled reports and distribute those to the Users.
Another option is Web delivery (for Crystal Reports versions 8 and 9). A third option is available for those using the Seagate Info software and a fourth is the free viewer. All of these have weaknesses that cView overcomes.
