Crystal Report Workshop (DAY 1)

Here I am sharing those activities that held during the workshop by our database lecturer Mr Yap. For those who have no idea on what is a Crystal Report, actually it was a report development tools which generetes from database. It is quite powerful report generator as it is in Graphical User Interface, and the tools are quite complete.

The workshop started at 9am today, we have been taught on how to create a normal blank report, linking database, select table, then comes to the report development environment. The field that we need can be just drag and drop into the report template. Besides generating the field content, we are taught on how to use the "Sort Expert", "Select Expert", some of few more "Expert(s)" that I can't get to list all out 1 by 1. The workshop ended at 10:30am.
