Easy View - Crystal Reports Viewer - Features

Saves Money
With Easy View there is no need to purchase an expensive copy of Crystal Reports for every one of your employees that needs a Crystal Reports Viewer. Crystal Reports is a great tool for analyzing just about any part of your business but the fact is that most of your employees don't need a full copy of Crystal Reports. All they really need is a way to view and distribute reports that were already made for them. Easy View does this and much much more.

Saves Time
Do you run the same crystal reports every day, week or month? Let Easy View do work for you with its powerful crystal report scheduler. You can configure the report scheduler to run as many reports as you want whenever you want. Reports can be automatically displayed on the screen, printed and exported. Easy View can export the report into your favorite format, attach it to an email and send to anyone you want all without the touch of a button.

Flexible
Easy View is the most flexible Crystal Report Viewer you will ever use. You can preview, print, export and email any of your Crystal Reports (.rpt) files manually or automatically. Easy View has many options that let you determine exactly how the crystal report will run. This helps you save time by not making you go through the same steps over and over each time you run a crystal report.

Export Reports
Crystal Reports can be exported to many popular formats for distribution to people that don't have Crystal Reports or a Crystal Report Viewer.

Email
Need to run a Crystal Report and send the results out? Easy View has full email support. Reports can be attached to an email using your own email program or sent directly from Easy View.
Easy View can also access your MS Outlook contact list directly saving you time when send emails.

Command Line Support
In the rare cases that the built-in report scheduler is not enough Easy View can be activated directly with full command line support. Easy View can be activated from the Windows scheduler, batch files, DOS commands or any program that can start an EXE file with command line parameters. This means that Easy View can be used in conjunction with a virtually unlimited number of external applications and processes making it an incredibly powerful crystal report viewer.

Recent Reports List
Easy View keeps a list of the crystal reports you have run recently so that they can easily be run again with a click of your mouse.

Stores database passwords
Your login information can be stored securely in Easy View. This gives you the ability to run reports automatically without having to type in the login information each time.

Password protected
Easy View can be password protected to prevent unauthorized people from using the crystal report viewer to run your Crystal reports.

Automatic updates

Virtually all databases are supported
Easy View can run crystal reports that connect to just about any type of database. Many databases are supported directly by the crystal report viewer. For databases that are not directly supported it is usually just a matter of installing special drivers for the database. Easy View also supports Crystal Reports that connect to multiple databases from 1 report.

Import / Export
If you are using multiple copies of Easy View within your company, you can use the import / export features to easily distribute data and settings to all users.

Saves report parameters

You can use the Easy View report scheduler to export reports to HTML or XML file formats at regular intervals and save the files to a web server or some other convenient place on your network. These files can be viewed by anyone with a web browser or used by another program to process the XML data.
