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.
Version Note
This course is taught using Crystal Reports 2020 software. However, there are very few differences between the 2020 and prior versions. Our instructors have used all of the most recent versions and will be able to quickly highlight the few small changes to the user interface. Users of previous versions of Crystal Reports should have no problem learning in the 2020 software environment.
