Overview

CRD® is a Crystal Reports Scheduler that saves time and money by making it easy to automate Crystal reports. Crystal Reports distribution is easy. Just define single or packages of Crystal Reports®, schedule and run them automatically, and send the reports to print, fax, disk, ftp, sms or email in a number of standard formats. You can just "set it and forget it".

Business Intelligence has never been so easy to automate. Simply set up a schedule stating how often you would like each report to run, whether you'd like the output in Word, Excel, HTML, RTF, Acrobat, RPT, text format, and more and who it should be sent to. The Crystal Reports Scheduler , CRD, will do the automated delivery for you!

It's easy to schedule Crystal Report to run at a specific date and time, or to run them hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly or set up your own custom frequencies e.g. 4-4-3, every other day, third Monday of the month, and so on. And the same report can be scheduled to be run multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies, and destinations. It makes Crystal Reports scheduling simples, hassle-free and convenient for you.

Distribute Crystal Reports and respond to your business needs by setting schedules to run based on events rather than date. Add real-time monitoring to your Crystal Reports distribution process with CRD's Event Based Schedules, reports are fired off when events occur e.g. database value is present, file is modified, window is present, an email is received, etc. CRD makes sure the reports are created and distributed on time and error-free. Just what you want from a Crystal Reports Distribution tool.

Use CRD's unique Dynamic Schedule process to trawl through your database to find the parameter values to use and then generate and deliver a unique report for each value. Bring advanced Data-Driven functionality to your Crystal reports distribution infrastructure. And with Bursting Schedules you can quickly and easily burst out and deliver report groups to different recipients and destinations. Manage your Crystal Reports distribution needs with greater effectiveness, speed, and efficiency.

Once your schedule has been executed, why stop there? Use CRD's unique Custom Actions to run another program, enter values in a database, modify a file and lots more. Or use Automation Schedules for general business process automation without scheduling any reports at all.
