Report Viewers for Viewing,
Printing, and Exporting
Within the end-user portal, you can
select your preferred viewer from a
choice of thin- and zero-client report
viewers: dynamic HTML (DHTML),
ActiveX viewer, and Java applet. These
viewers provide end users with simple
report-viewing and interaction func-
tions, including report refreshing,
printing, exporting, and searching.
The portal and the report viewers are
simple, straightforward, and designed
to be used by your end users with mini-
mal training. Crystal Reports Viewer
software, a stand-alone .rpt file viewer,
is available via free download for offline
report viewing and interaction. Export-
ing is a common end-user requirement.
Crystal Reports Server supports a
variety of exporting formats, including
Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel, XML,
and RTF. End users can choose to
export a complete report or a specific
page.
Microsoft Office with SAP
BusinessObjects Live Office
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office
software lets you embed refreshable,
verified corporate data – managed by
Crystal Reports Server – into your
Microsoft Office documents. With
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office, your
Microsoft Office documents display
data from the same trusted reports you
manage in Crystal Reports Server.
When everyone uses the same correct
source of information, you don’t spend
time disputing the validity of the data.
Instead, everyone focuses on making
quicker, better-informed decisions.
With SAP BusinessObjects Live Office,
you can be confident the data you
access is timely, consistent, and accu-
rate. From within Microsoft Office (see
Figures 3 and 4), you can use SAP
BusinessObjects Live Office to:
• Access live data refreshed from
accurate reports
• Modify data filters and formulas as
needed, while retaining all existing
formatting and calculations
• Automatically refresh a single data
item or all the data in your document
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office
architecture uses Web services to
eliminate firewall configuration issues
and reduce the client-side footprint.
It consists of a client-side component
that integrates with Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft
PowerPoint. This client-side component
uses Web services to communicate
with Crystal Reports Server.
The Java Web component adapter,
included in the server-side installation,
communicates with the client. SAP
BusinessObjects Live Office takes
advantage of both the report security
and data security that Crystal Reports
Server provides. Users must log in to
Crystal Reports Server through the
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office client
to ensure that they are authorized to
see the list of reports presented. Data-
level security is also applied when data
is refreshed, which means that users
see only the data they have the rights
to view.
