In newer versions of Crystal Reports you can easily setup Optional Parameters which allows a user to enter a value and if they leave it blank, Crystal ignores it. There is a workaround in older versions of Crystal, which ViewPoint supports, but it's convoluted. When you use Optional, Crystal creates the Report Restriction syntax for you.
Optional Parameter Syntax which is auto-generated (example): (not HasValue({?Contract Type}) OR {@Contract Type} = {?Contract Type})
Workaround Syntax: (if {?Contract Type} <> '' then {?Contract Type} = {@Contract Type} else 1=1)
