content overview - report requirement details

[steever]

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether Crystal has anything like a "Content Overview" feature, that would provide a quick way to see all the fields, groupings, sorts, etc. in a report you can save out. I've been asked by management to prepare a document outlining everything contained in several reports. With Cognos Impromptu this would be easy, save a content overview document and i have a whole report ABOUT the report. Anything like this in Crystal.

thx a lot!

Export to "Report Definintion" under the export options.

It creates a TXT file of all your fields, formulas, groups, etc.

Choose 'Export' and then [Report Definition]. Use the Export icon, the envelope with the downward red arrow.

It isn't very clear, unfortunately. There are apparantly 3rd-party tools that do a much better job. But they also cost money.
