quality reports? Crystal Reports is the tool for you. Pie charts, bar
charts, cross-tab summary tables and nested subreports are a sampling
of the options available for enhanced formatting of your reports.
Full Circle can teach you many of the
great features in Crystal Reports -- this Trainer Tip focuses
on just one of them -- how to highlight data.

For our Crystal Reports users...
Did you ever want to make certain information in your
reports stand out? The Highlighting Expert feature in Crystal
Reports can help you. For instance, if you are trying to indicate
negative numbers or numbers that are under or over a set threshold.
In the case where you need to highlight inventory that is
under 10 items:
- First select the
field by clicking on it once.
- Select
"Highlighting Expert" from the Format menu.
- The Highlighting
Expert dialog box will appear -- you will then be able to set
options for when and how the highlighting will occur.
- Select New under the
Item list section.
- In the Item editor
section to the right, fill in the "Value
of:" drop-downs as "this field"; "is less
than"; "10".
- You could then set
the Font color to red and the Background to yellow when the
inventory object is below 10.
Using the
Highlighting Expert feature is a great way to call
attention to key data. Learn more about Crystal Reports in a
valuable course at Full Circle!
