Crystal dashboard viewer

[BattleshipCobra]

Hi, I'm working with SAP Business One and we are looking for a report viewer solution that can run an RPT file or Xcelcius dashboard in fullscreen on an LCD monitor.

It would need to have auto refresh functionality as well. We want to show orders in a queue in real time.

Is there anything out there that can do that?

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Debjit, thanks for your response.

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 and I don't see PPT as an option for export.

Is this all done through Xcelcius, even the RPT files would be loaded in Xcelcius and exported?

Or is there some option in Crystal I am missing?

Mike,

Third Wave's Advanced Productivity Pack can provide this functionality. instead of using a crystal viewer, i would suggest that you use our interactive dashboard with Gold Arrow drill back into B1.

APP dashboards use a standard B1 query to display the data. the dashboard can include graphs and/or data grids, They can also be setup to auto refresh. in your example you may just want a data grid that shows the orders. the sap query would define which columns are included.

A dashboard can also be interactive, which means that i can click on a part the graph and the data grid will be updated to show the detail. for example the graph might show the total amount of orders that needs to ship each day this week. When i click on the bar for wednesday, the data grid provides a list of the orders that are to ship that day. the data grid can have drill down arrows back to the transaction, BP, item etc.

the Advanced Productivity pack does not require additional Crystal Dashboard viewer licenses. It will also take a significantly less time to setup dashboards with the APP than a CrystalDashboard. the added benefit is that APP also provide the most comprehensive document/report delivery system available for Business One. there are number of other really neat features that it also includes.

this will provide a much better option because they can drill back to B1 forms.
