Crystal Reports

Create and customize presentation-quality reports from your Sage MAS 90 ERP and Sage MAS 200 ERP data with Crystal Reports. Crystal Reports is a powerful WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) report writer that allows you to create meaningful reports quickly and easily. You can use sample reports straight out of the box (see the column at left for a listing of the 27 report templates included). Or, modify them to suit your needs, then save and run them anytime.

Take control over the look of your documents by selecting font type, size and text color. Enhance the layout by applying lines, borders and shading. Further enrich your reports with embedded pictures, diagrams and logos. Use tables, cross-tabulations or one of twelve graph styles to communicate your financial information. You can even create reports with drill-down simply by selecting that option for the detail section of a report.

Crystal's “Experts” are wizards that guide you through the report process from start to finish; “Private Tutor” is a built-in training and on-line help system. You also have the ability to run your reports at pre-determined times, even unattended. See the features list on the reverse side for all the exciting new capabilities available in Crystal Reports!

The ODBC (open database connectivity) driver included in the data access kit for Sage MAS 90 ERP gives Crystal Reports direct access to Sage MAS 90 ERP data. The ODBC driver also provides read-only access to MAS 90 data for other applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel and Access, allowing your accounting information to be automatically transferred for use in other applications and report writers.
