Creating Custom Reports |
This section provides step-by-step tutorials on how to create custom reports for Report Server. You can follow these basic steps to create your own reports or modify the standard Vocera reports.
Crystal Reports allows you to create reports using several different methods. You can build reports from scratch, or you can use the four Report Creation wizards, which provide a series of screens to help you define a report.
This section assumes you are familiar with Crystal Reports. For more in depth coverage of Crystal Reports features, see the Crystal Reports 2008 User's Guide.
Before starting these tutorials, prepare your Crystal Reports computer:
Make sure you have copied the Vocera report files (*.RPT) from the Report Server computer to your Crystal Reports designer computer. The files are located in the \vocera\reports\Reports folder.
Install the MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 driver, and set up an ODBC data source to connect to your Vocera Report Server. See Installing Crystal Reports 2008 and MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.
