Destination locations

You can schedule a report instance to be sent to a specific destination on your computer or network, to a default file location, to email, to FTP, or to a printer. For destination options other than Default, you can choose the preset settings (as determined by your administrator) or enter specific requirements for the destination.

You can choose from the following destination locations:

• Default

  If you select the Default option, the report is scheduled to (and saved on) Crystal Enterprise.

• Unmanaged Disk

  If you select Unmanaged Disk, the report is saved to the file location that you specify.

• Email (SMTP)

  If you select Email (SMTP) as your destination, the administrator has to have the server information set up on the Job Server.

• FTP

  If you select this option, you can select the FTP server set up by your administrator, or you can specify your own.

• Printer

  If you select Printer as your destination, the report must be scheduled using the Crystal Report format.

If the administrator has specified a particular destination for the report, this destination option will be displayed. You may be able to update the fields for this destination, or select a different destination. For many of these destinations, you must provide additional information.

To schedule a report to a specific destination

1. In the Customize your options list, click Destination.
2. In the Destination list, click the format of your choice.
3. Where applicable, select either Use the Crystal Job Server's defaults or Set the values to be used at schedule time here.

4. Click Update.
5. On the title bar, click Schedule.

   Note:    If you want to set other options, do not click Schedule until you have made all your selections.
