Report Maker

Crystal reports

Report Maker processes report definition files with the file type RPT as Crystal report files.

Crystal Reports files are prepared using Crystal Reports products, this is outside the scope of SISfm.

Each RPT file must be accompanied by a text file with the file type TXT containing two lines:

1. Report title, this appears in the report selector and in the report window title.
2. Report data source, as an SQL SELECT statement, which must retrieve data matching the requirements of the RPT file.

RPT files may define parameters, which are prompted for in the report window.
