Crystal Reports XI Professional offers a flexible enterprise report design environment
for creating and maintaining highly formatted reports. Crystal Reports XI, now
makes data access, report design, and report maintenance even easier. An updated
report designer accelerates report authoring with an updated point-and-click designer,
new report workbench, nested hierarchies, intelligent charting, and HTML report
preview. Dynamic cascading prompts and automatically updated pick lists help to
minimize report maintenance. You'll also have access to updated XML, JDBC, IBM
DB2 and Exchange data drivers.Intelligent charting tools help you to create charts
faster. New drag-and-drop charting and cross-tabs allow for intelligent charting.
Because variables are approximated when a chart is dropped into a section, chart
design is now faster, easier, and updated automatically. There's an editable RTF
format to easily modify reports in standard word processing applications. Plus,
you'll experience more user-friendly exporting. The report designer can save export
configuration information within the report itself, so end-users dont have to
reconfigure the export each time a report is run.
