Schedule reports

I know SSRS reports can be scheduled. The need to be able to schedule Crystal reports has been needed for 5+ years.

    Visulcut by Millet Software is a very good and cost-effective platform which can do this.

    Hello, I saw in the remarks that CRD (Crystal Reports Delivery) by ChristianSteven was being used to deliver Crystal reports through email. I am hoping to get a little bit of help with this. My email goes out but the report is not attached. Please contact me at porlowski@markcerrone.com

    This would be awesome as an extension to the VA Notifier Job Manager, so a person could email out reports conditionally when needed, instead of a empty reports (that then get ignored) on a frequent schedule.

    Is there an update on this?

    5 years after this suggestion was made it is still "Likely but not yet planned" gives us all so much hope for the future

    Much needed capability! Would be very beneficial. Should have 500+ votes

    SAK has been using a product called CRD (Crystal Reports Delivery) by ChristianSteven for many years. It works great!

    Not having this as part of the main software is one of the MAJOR reasons, I will not recommend the software to anyone looking for good accounting construction software.

    This has over 120 votes and is 2 years old.  This should already be in development.

    We use Logicity - it's not the best in the world, but its FREE.

    We have found that every PM doesn't want to bother printing reports, they want everything E-mailed to them.

    You can have the best reports in the world, but if no one uses them they are WORTHLESS!

    We use Crystal Delivery to automate reports, includes emailing on a set schedule. Having the option built in to ViewPoint would be handy.

    I think they could solve several riddles with one solution: A new module within "Workflow" named WF Report Scheduler.

    Viewpoint: If and when you implement this, please take the following into consideration:

    • Allow the user to pass the results of an SQL QUERY to the REPORT PARAMETERS.
    • Use one field as the 'QUERY SOURCE' field, instead of breaking it into "Select", "From", and "Join" fields. An all-in-one field would allow us to use things like functions, stored procedures...etc

    Doing the above two things would be greatly appreciated!

    Checkout a program called R-TAG.  It is not very costly and has saved us a tremendous amount of time.  Schedules them, sends them by email, saves to a server location, etc.

    Report scheduling should also allow for an email output to one or more recipients.
