Crystal Reports tips for the Web 8 Select the Use Labels check box to use field labels based on the locale you specify in the Report Locale field. NOTE It is recommended that you deselect the Verify On First Refresh report option in Crystal Reports. Then, you do not need to match the Use Labels option for the report to run correctly. If the Verify On First Refresh option is selected, you must match the Use Labels option when you create the report and at runtime. For example, if you select the Use Labels option when you create the report, you must also select it when you run the report. Conversely, if you unselect the Use Labels option when you create the report, you must also unselect it when you run the report 9 In the Report Locale field, enter the locale for the language in which you want to see the report. NOTE If you have installed two localized views (for example, German and French), and you are using the German localized view and the report locale setting is set to the French locale, the data returned will be in French, though the static report text will be in German. 10 Click OK to save the settings. Restricting the number of records retrieved To restrict the number of records retrieved from the database when a report is run, Crystal Reports enables you to use a Selection Formula. A Selection Formula can be added in a Crystal report by choosing Report > Edit Selection Formula. (When the report is run from BMC Remedy User, however, these qualifications are not used.) Use the Run If Qualification panel in the Open Window Active Link action. The data can be enter through the data stored in a form or hard coded. When the report is run, this qualification is used to select data from the AR System forms specified in the report. Optimal formatting for all environments When you create a report and align the fields in the designer, and then view it in the Crystal Designer and BMC Remedy User, it might appear to be well aligned, but when you view it on the Web, the fields might not be aligned. To address this issue, use horizontal and vertical “guide lines” in reports to align fields. To set up optimal formatting for all environments 1 Right-click inside the designer and make sure the Snap to Grid option is not selected. 2 Select Show guide lines in design and Show guide lines in preview options from this menu.
