8.6.8 Report Designer

Select this command to create a new report or amend an existing report.

This command will call Crystal Reports. This is an extremely powerful What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) reporting tool allowing you to design sophisticated reports easily using point-and-click commands.

Once the report is designed, it is saved as a Database File (in DBF/MDB format as per default) for later use.

In order for LANSA Client to find the report format belonging to your query, you should assign the same name to the report format as you have assigned to the Query that will use it. If a different query and report name must be used, then you can specify the link between them using the 8.5.6 Linked Query Option command in the Query menu.

Refer to the Crystal Reports manual for details about using Crystal Reports.
