schedule event

Schedule-based events are dependent upon scheduled reports. That is, a schedule-based event is triggered when a particular report has been processed. When you create this type of event, it can be based on the success or failure of a scheduled report, or it can be based simply on the completion of the job. A report that is dependent on a schedule-based event will run only when the schedule-based event is triggered.

selection formula

A selection formula is a formula that specifies the records, or groups of records, you want included in your report.

subreport

A subreport is a report within a report. It has all of the characteristics of a report with one exception: it cannot itself include a subreport. Subreports can be free-standing or they can be linked to the data in the primary report. Using Crystal Reports, you can insert as many subreports as you wish.
