what crystal product do I need?

[JSeidel]

I am currently using crystal 8.5 (crystal reports). My needs are becoming more sophisticated. these are the things I want to be able to do. What crystal product/version should I be looking at??

I need to:
publish reports to the web
email reports
schedule reports to print
notify a user when a metric exceeds or is below expectation

thanks so much for your help! very much appreciated.

also - does crystal have a mart (datamart) generator?? thanks!!

Hi,

You will be needing CE 8.5

First 3 points, are available in CE8.5.
About 4th point, Administrator can check metrics but there is no way users can be notified about that.

It does not have datamart generator option, however, you can always create data mart and link your reports to it.

Hope that helps.

Crystal enterprise 8.5 - is that separate for the crystal reports? if I get CE8.5, do I get crystal reports as well?

You might consider a 3rd party product for the printing and emailing of reports. That could save you a lot of $.

Ken Hamady has a list of 3rd party schedulers on his web site including my cViewMANAGER. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

To answer your last question, if you purchase CE85, CR85 comes with it. Rod Oatis
