BusinessObjects Enterprise comes with additional
viewers that provide features not provided with the
Crystal Reports for Eclipse.
When used in conjunction with a Page Server or RAS, these viewers provide
additional features including:
Advanced Search
Searches report fields using Boolean and
comparison operators.
Maps
Allows embedded maps to be viewed, and drilled
down upon. This feature requires the mapping DLLs to be installed on the RAS
server.
Note: Crystal Reports Java does not support
Maps.
Mobile Output
Produces output for mobile devices.
Note: Crystal Reports Java does not support
generating reports for display on mobile devices.
PDA Output
Produces output for PDA devices.
Note: Crystal Reports Java does not support
generating reports for display on PDAs.
The viewers included with BusinessObjects
Enterprise also provide support for additional report export formats, including
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, plain text, and comma separated values.
Finally, these viewers support a special
feature—smart tag parsing. Crystal Reports smart tags allow you to integrate
Crystal reporting technology into Microsoft Office XP documents. Users can
embed a link to a report from Office XP programs by copying and pasting a
report part into an Office XP document.
