Synopsis

This class is an introductory hands-on look into the Crystal Reports software. Students will be shown how to access the Elite database and create custom reports using this exciting business tool. Topics include: Connecting to Elite, Using the Report Wizard to Create a Report, Using the Select Expert and the Formula Editor, Exporting Data, Subreports and much more!

As with all of our hands-on classes we will be querying against an Elite database so that the experience will give the student a ‘real world’ feel. There will be lab time built into the two days for opportunities to begin designing reports needed back at the office.

Crystal gives you the opportunity to design custom reports against the Elite data that are easy to run and easy on the eyes. The report design and format are custom-designed so that your firm does not have to be limited to the standard Elite reports.

A prerequisite for the class is a basic knowledge of the EPBS tables. It is assumed that students will be familiar with their own firm’s accounting data. This is an ideal course for accountants and analysts that would like to be able to access information quickly and independently, as well as enhance their skills in the area of computer programming.
