D.3.1.1 To apply accessible settings to font size conditionally
1.
Open the report in the Design tab of Crystal Reports.
2.
In the Details section, right-click the field you want to conditionally format, and select Format Field.
3.
In the Format Editor, click the Font tab.
4.
Click the Formula button that corresponds to the Size list.
The Format Formula Editor opens a new formula named Font Size.
5.
In the Formula text window, type this formula (which uses Crystal Syntax):
if {?Access} = "Yes"
then 20
else 10
This formula ensures that the font size for the currently selected field is increased from 10 point to
20 point when the user chooses to display accessible formatting.
6.
Click Save and close.
7.
Click OK in the Format Editor.
D.3.2 Accessibility and suppressing sections
Instead of formatting individual objects conditionally, you can create separate sections for accessible
versions of the report content, then use the accessibility parameter field to conditionally suppress
sections. The accessible and non-accessible sections can be suppressed or shown, based on the
parameter value the user selects.
Creating separate sections for accessible versions of report content may be more time-consuming, but
there are a few situations where suppressing sections conditionally can be more practical than formatting
on the object level:
• If a report contains many objects, suppressing sections may require fewer conditional formulas.
• Not all settings and features can be formatted conditionally. By suppressing sections, however, you
can make any formatting changes you want.
• You may want to provide completely different types of information for people viewing the accessible
version of the report. For example, you may want to split visual and audio objects into two different
sections and conditionally suppress them based on the parameter value the user chooses.
