remiCrystal is a fantastic tool for automating, scheduling and delivering Crystal Reports. Wrapped in an elegant and user-friendly interface, remiCrystal is a powerful and flexible asset to anyone wanting to save time and money on their report distribution needs.

By freeing your resources from the mundane task of manually running Crystal Reports, remiCrystal offers a quick return on your investment and a low cost of ownership. One of the key goals when we set out to create remiCrystal for Crystal Reports automation and distribution was to create an application that did not re-invent the wheel.

The developers aimed to utilize a lot of the technologies already existing on the Windows platform. By doing so, they have a product that is not only small and lightweight, but also stable and efficient. You can trust remiCrystal with your mission-critical reporting needs and you will not be disappointed.

Using remiCrystal is as easy as 1-2-3. Create. Schedule. Deliver. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so go ahead and download the application to see exactly what we mean! remiCrystal enables you to package multiple Crystal Reports into a single Task. This way your users only get a single email with all relevant reports attached. You will even have the possibility to choose one of the included reports to be used as the email's body.

Here are some key features of "remiCrystal":

Small and lightweight application:
· One of the key goals when we set out to create remiCrystal for Crystal Reports automation and distribution was to create an application that did not re-invent the wheel. We aimed to utilize a lot of the technologies already existing on the Windows platform. By doing so, we have a product that is not only small and lightweight, but also stable and efficient. You can trust remiCrystal with your mission-critical reporting needs and you will not be disappointed.

Modern and secure architecture using Microsoft .NET:
· remiCrystal is engineered from the ground up to be a modern and secure application. We utilize 256-bit encryption to secure all your saved data. By employing Microsoft's .NET Framework, remiCrystal is designed to multi-task using multi-threading. It can execute numerous Crystal Reports simultaneously. Not only that, multiple tasks can also run concurrently.

Intuitive sleek interface:
· Using remiCrystal is as easy as 1-2-3. Create. Schedule. Deliver. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so go ahead and download the application to see exactly what we mean!

On the fly property editing:
· Once an item is added to a remiCrystal Task such as a report or SMTP server configuration, editing its properties can be done simply by editing the values in the property grid. No need for cumbersome dialog windows.

Multiple reports in remiCrystal Tasks:
· remiCrystal enables you to package multiple Crystal Reports into a single Task. This way your users only get a single email with all relevant reports attached. You can even specify any of the included reports to be used as the email's body in either TEXT or HTML.

Task Portability:
· remiCrystal does not utilize a backend database for data storage therefore there is little chance of all your Tasks getting lost due to data corruption or other database mishaps. Also, your computer's resources will not get bogged running background database server processes. Instead, each remiCrystal Task is its own self-contained entity thus making it extremely portable. Tasks can be shared just like any other Windows file or backed up with your normal file backup routines. You are also able to organize all your remiCrystal Tasks using the familiar Windows Explorer.

Multiple Targets per Task:
· remiCrystal will deliver your reports to multiple Target types including Email, Printer, Disk/Network, and FTP server.

Built-in & Crystal Report Functions:
· You can customize the Crystal Report's Record or Group Selection Formula using remiCrystal's drag-and-drop interface. You can also input common functions such as "current date" by simply dragging them into the email body or parameter fields.

Requirements:

· 20 MB free hard disk space
· 512 MB physical memory (RAM)
· 600 MHz Pentium 4 processor
· Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework (remiCrystal will install this if it is not present)
· Crystal Reports 2008
