The Production Reporting for Crystal Reports page is where you:

• Define reports. A report consists of a Crystal Reports template and a View Manager view. The Crystal Reports template specifies the layout or "look" of the report. The view specifies the data (dimensions and members) for the report. The process of defining a report is selecting the appropriate template and view for the report and giving it a unique name.
• Define books. Whenever several reports must be distributed at the same time, grouping them into a book simplifies distribution.
• Define Jobs. A job consists of reports or books sent to a specific group of recipients at the same time. A job uses one delivery method and one publishing format for all recipients. Jobs can recur at defined intervals. When a job is run, the system creates reports using the data stored in the database at run time.
• Add Crystal Reports templates to the Production Reporting template library.
• Create a list of report recipients. For each recipient, you must provide a user name, email address, and directory location for the reports.
