Crystal Reports perspective

The Crystal Reports features are an optional extra that can be selected when installing RAD v7.5. If this is installed, then the Crystal Reports perspective provides the tools to work with a database and produce simple or complex reports (using Crystal Reports), which can be published to the Web or incorporated into an application. The main editor uses a Layout page where report elements can be placed on report templates from the Palette view and a Preview page to show what a report will look like. These work with the Data Source Explorer view and the Field Explorer view to position various fields from results of queries and database tables onto the report.

The Rational Application Developer Help has a large section providing details about using this perspective.
