Format

When scheduling a report, the instance is created and saved using the Crystal Report format (.rpt), unless you choose a different file format. You can choose from the following:

• Crystal Report
• Excel
• Word
• Acrobat
• Rich Text
• Plain Text
• Paginated Text
• Tab-separated Values
• Character-separated Values

An instance of a report scheduled to one of the available formats is created in that format. For some of these formats, you can specify properties for the report.

To schedule a report using a format

1. In the Customize your options list, click Format.
2. In the Report Format list, click the format of your choice.

   Where applicable, update the format properties information and click Update.

3. 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.
