Adding summary information to the report
There may be times when you want to include non-printing comments with a
report (a personal note to the report recipient, a note to explain more
thoroughly the data on which the report is based, a report title, a comment
about some particular data on the report, and so on).
Summary Info on the File menu provides a facility for including anything from
a short note to hundreds of lines of text with your report. The comments do
not print with the report; they remain in the Summary tab of the Document
Properties dialog box where they can be reviewed on demand.
When you choose Summary Info, the Document Properties dialog box
appears with the Summary tab active.
Enter the desired information and click OK when finished to return to your report.
Exploring reports and working with multiple
reports
Crystal Reports lets you work with your existing reports through the Report
Explorer, the Workbench, and the Dependency Checker.
This section describes these tools and provides some general information
about opening and docking each of the explorers that are available in Crystal
Reports. For more information, see “Opening and docking explorers” on
page 114.
