CRD is a convenient Crystal Reports Scheduler that enables automation and scheduling of reports to print, fax, FTP, SMS, DropBox, Sharepoint and email, thus saving time and money.
One of the best things about CRD is how easy it is to use. All you have to do is set up a schedule stating how often you would like each report to run, what format you want the output in, and who it should be sent to. CRD will then take care of the automated delivery, delivering reports to folder, email, printer, fax, DropBox, Sharepoint, FTP, or SFTP!
With CRD, you can schedule Crystal Reports to run at a specific date and time, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also set up custom frequencies, such as every other day or the third Monday of the month. Additionally, you can run the same report multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies, and destinations.
Responding to your business needs is easy with CRD's Event Based Schedules. You can set schedules to run based on events and triggers, such as when a database value is present, a file is modified, a window is open, or an email is received. You can also add real-time monitoring to your Crystal Reports distribution process.
CRD's Dynamic & Data-Driven Schedule processes allow you to trawl through your database to find parameter values to use and then generate and deliver a unique report for each value. With Bursting Schedules, you can also quickly and easily burst out and deliver report groups to different recipients and destinations.
Finally, CRD's Custom Actions let you run another program, enter values in a database, modify a file, and much more before and after report delivery. With its many features and easy-to-use interface, CRD is a great tool for automating your Crystal reports.
