Publishing with the Crystal Management Console

If you have administrative rights to Crystal Enterprise, you can publish objects over the Web from within the CMC.

To add an object with the CMC

1. Go to the Objects management area of the CMC.
2. Click New Report.

   The New Report page appears.

   

3. In the File name field, type the full path to the report.

   If you do not know the path, click Browse to perform a search.

4. If you do not want the user to see a thumbnail preview of the report in ePortfolio, clear the "Generate thumbnail for the report" check box.

   Tip:    To display thumbnails for a report, you must save the report with data and select the "Save preview picture" check box in Crystal Reports. To locate this check box in Crystal Reports 8.x, open a report and click Summary Info on the File menu. The "Save Data with Report" option is also on the File menu.

5. Ensure that the correct folder name appears in the Destination field.

   Tip:    To expand a folder, select it and click Show Subfolders.

6. Click OK.

   When the object has been added to the system, the CMC displays the Properties screen. If necessary, you can now modify the object's properties, such as its title and description, the database logon information, scheduling information, user rights, and so on.
