Crystal Reports

These are general settings for Crystal reports:

Crystal Reports Version

Select the version of Crystal Reports being used.

Crystal Enterprise Server aspx

To use the Crystal Enterprise Server, enter the full path of OpenDocument.aspx, which is the page used to show reports.

• For Crystal 2008, OpenDocument.aspx is located in the OpenDocument/opendoc directory, so the full path on a server called InforPS is http://InforPS/OpenDocument/opendoc/opendocument.aspx.
• For Crystal 2011, the path is http://InforPS/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp.
• If using the embedded Crystal Reports viewer, specify the path to the location on your server where the report files are stored in the Default Path for Crystal .rpt files field.

  Select Enter URL to specify a path, or select Select PreConfigured URL and select the path from a drop-down list. The list shows all paths that have been specified for existing Crystal reports in the Reports Manager.

URL Reports

This section defines global settings for URL reports (other than SSRS reports).

Default URL for URL reports

Specify the URL used to show reports. Select Enter URL and specify a URL, or select Select PreConfigured URL and select the URL from a drop-down list. The list shows all URLs that have been specified for existing reports in the Reports Manager.

Ad Hoc Reports

These settings define the type of report used to print ad hoc reports. When an ad hoc report is run, the results are displayed in a grid. To print the report, it must be converted to a printable format.

Use a Crystal report or an XSL style sheet to format the report as HTML. The Reports folder in the Infor Public Sector application folder includes a default Crystal report and a default XSL style sheet for printing ad hoc reports.

Report Type

Select the report type to use (Crystal or Xslt).

• If Crystal is selected, specify the path to the .rpt file in the Crystal Report Path field. The default report path (/Reports/CrystalXI/General/PrintRpt.rpt) is automatically displayed.
• If Xslt is selected, specify the path to the XSL style sheet in the Xsl Path field. The default path (/Reports/XSL/Core/PrintAdhocReport.xsl) is automatically displayed. In the Temporary Path field, specify the full path to the directory where the HTML output file is placed, such as C:\TEMP.

General

This section contains settings for all report types.

Report File Export Path

Default Path for File System Report Files

Specify the default path for file system reports in the field.
