Course Overview
Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide variety of data sources. It is distributed with many software applications, and integrated development environments. This hands-on, 6 week workshop examines the latest version of Crystal Reports v2011 and provides end-user skills for the daily use of any version of this application. Topics include report design, organization and formatting, grouping, selecting and sorting records, creating formulas, working with databases, and producing Report Alerts. By the end of this course, successful participants will know how to design presentation quality reports and be prepared to start COMP 1251, Crystal Reports 2. Those who plan to take COMP 1251 in the same term should instead register for the complete 12 week course COMP 2252 Business Intelligence with Crystal Reports, which covers both fundamental and advanced topics.
