Sage MAS 90/200 Featured Module
CRYSTAL REPORTS
Save Time Designing and Distributing Presentation-Quality Reports
Create and customize presentation-quality reports from your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 systems data with Crystal Decisions software. Crystal Reports® is a powerful report writer that allows you to create meaningful reports quickly and easily. You can use sample reports straight out of the box (see list below), or modify reports to suit your needs, then save and run anytime.
Take control over the look of your documents by selecting font type, size, and color. Enhance the layout by applying lines, borders, and shading. Further enrich your reports with embedded pictures, diagrams, and logos. Use tables, cross-tabulations, or one of 12 graph styles to communicate your financial information. You can even create reports with drill-down capabilities simply by selecting that option for the detail section of a report.
Crystal's "Experts" are wizards that guide you through the report process from start to finish, and Private Tutor is a built-in training and online help system. You can run your reports at pre-determined times, even unattended.
Features of Exciting New Capabilities
Sub-Reports -
These may be embedded in a main report so that you can insert information from different tables with different formats into any section of a report. For example, you can embed your income statement into the balance sheet and pull the net income figure into the balance sheet.
Conditional and Multiple Section Reports -
This feature lets you specify special conditions for each section of a report, allowing one report to produce several different outcomes.
Enhanced Cross-Tabulation Objects -
You can present summary information in a single cell, replacing columnar report formats.
Mail-Merge Capabilities -
You can combine database information with letters or other text objects, and specify selection criteria to target specific groups of customers.
Report Design Control -
Improved user interface gives more power and control over report design by letting you customize your design environment. You can also use a drawing model instead of a pre-defined grid for more accurate placement of data fields.
Control Formatting with Formulas -
Data can be displayed in a different color or underlined to put emphasis on a particular cell and its value.
Enhanced Graphing Capabilities -
You can graph on details, formulas, and subtotals, and you can choose from several graphical formats.
Report Distribution Capabilities -
With Crystal Reports, you can publish reports to the Web with automatic HTML output, presenting embedded graphs and other features of the original report. When exporting to Word and Excel, images, lines, boxes, and color are included. You can send e-mail reports in any of the output formats supported within the Crystal runtime viewer.
