Powerful Data Access and Report Design
Business Views
Access to Business Views eliminates the hassles associated with manually moving
reports from development to production.
BusinessObjects Universes
Connect to BusinessObjects™ Enterprise universes, a powerful semantic layer
that masks the complexity of the data, so that new or less experienced users can
still understand the data.
Updated Drivers
Crystal Reports XML, JDBC, IBM DB2 and Exchange data drivers have been
updated to give you an incredible range of data access options.
Dynamic Image Location
Pictures and graphics can now be placed in a report through a link in the database
so that it is no longer necessary to store images within the database. This supports
the common practice of storing images on the web server and storing references
to those images in the database.
Updated Visual Report Designer
Use the updated point-and-click designer to create reports and alleviate intensive
coding.
Intelligent Charting
New drag and drop charting and cross-tabs allow for intelligent charting.
Variables are approximated when a chart is dropped into a section. Chart design
is now faster and easier because charts will be updated automatically when new
variables are added.
Hierarchical Grouping
Layout control is enhanced so that users can create their reports in a hierarchical,
rather than just a relational manner. This provides a better fit for organizational
charts and summary reports.
Enhanced Productivity and Maintenance
Dynamic and Cascading Prompts
Report prompts can be based on dynamic values. This means that report
designers no longer have to maintain static prompt value lists within individual
reports. Instead, they can reuse existing prompts stored in the repository.
