Chapter 4: Writing Reports with the Report Wizards

Overview

No one likes to do more work than is necessary. The crew at Crystal Reports understands this. As a result, "Work smarter, not harder" is a philosophy that you'll find flowing throughout all the Crystal Decisions products.

One way Crystal Reports makes your life easier is through the use of Report Wizards. You're probably wondering, "Wizards? What in the world are wizards?"

If you're familiar with word processing programs, you've probably encountered wizards before. Software wizards are those nifty utilities in programs that help you perform a particular task.

The Report Wizards allow you to create reports by choosing options from different screens. By the time you finish with the last screen, you've developed a report with many of its features and information in place. You can then save and print your work or modify the report as needed.
