VisAbility™ View, an integral part of VisAbility™ Reports for Visual
Manufacturing®, is a powerful viewer for Crystal Reports. VisAbility™
View allows easy deployment of VisAbility™
Reports as well as substantially simplifying the deployment of your own
Crystal Reports®.

VisAbility™ View offers compelling advantages to report
users as well as Crystal Reports® developers and system administrators:
-
Single login to work with multiple reports.
Unlike the Crystal Report® Distribution Wizard, VisAbility™ View is
wired to work with your Visual Manufacturing® system. It allows the
user to login once to work with many reports during the work day.
-
Multiple copies of any report can be open. The
user can open several copies of the same report with different
parameters to look at the data differently.
-
Reports can be printed, viewed, emailed or exported to
a number of different formats including Adobe Acrobat® (PDF).
-
The user can select report information to quickly see
comments, notes and parameter information that has been embedded in
the report's Summary Info. They no longer need to open dozens of
reports to find the one they want.

-
Your custom reports can be deployed by simply copying
them to a directory on the server. You no longer need to visit
each user's machine to run the Distribution Wizard.
-
Users can attach to many different Visual
Manufacturing databases regardless of the database to which the report was
originally bound.
-
The viewer transparently handles sub-reports. No
need to recompile the report to attach sub-reports to each possible
database on your system! Try that with the Distribution Wizard.
-
No requirement to install or use Crystal Reports®
ODBC drivers, even if your reports were developed using them.
The Viewer allows the system administrator to specify the ODBC Data
Source Name (DSN) to be used when attaching to a Visual Manufacturing®
database.
In addition to having VisAbility™ Reports at your
employee's finger tips, VisAbility™ View offers you the power of Crystal Reports®
without the hassles of the Distribution Wizard.
