You can take this class at any time; there are no set dates.

Version Note
This course is taught using Crystal Reports 2020 software. However, there are very, very few differences between the 2020 and previous versions. Users of previous versions of Crystal Reports should have no problem learning in the 2020 software environment.
What You Need to Take this Training
You must have the product software on your computer and a high-speed internet connection. We highly recommend the use of multiple monitors so you can view the instructor's presentation on a screen that is separate and alongside the screen you will be using to complete the labs.
Overview
Organizations use reporting tools to access data sources and generate customized reports. SAP® Crystal Reports® 2020 enhances report building and report processing techniques with a variety of features that add value to a presentation. In this course, you will create a basic report by connecting to a database and modifying the report's presentation.
Information is critical to making sound business decisions. Data presented without any formatting or structure holds little or no meaning for interpretation. Crystal Reports 2020 helps you build advanced reports with ease, presenting complex information in an understandable way.
Target Student
This course is designed for people who need output from a database. In some cases, database programs have limited reporting tools, or tools that are not accessible. Learners may or may not have programming or SQL experience.
Prerequisites
Before taking this course, learners should be familiar with basic computer functions, such as creating and navigating folders, opening programs, manipulating windows, copying and pasting objects, formatting text, and saving files in Microsoft® Windows®. In addition, learners should have taken the Microsoft® Office Access® 2019: Part 1, or the Microsoft® Access® for Office 365™: Part 1 course, or have equivalent experience with basic database concepts.
