Tutorial 8-5. Creating a New Report Alert<\/h2>\n

Let’s see how easy it is to create report alerts by walking through a simple tutorial. This example uses a report that prints sales by product and also shows which country the purchase was made in. Management has been worried that sales within South Africa have come to a halt over the past few months and they want the report to alert the user whenever there are new sales within South Africa.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Crystal Reports example report Group By Intervals. Save it as Report Alert Tutorial.rpt.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the menu options Report > Alerts > Create or Modify Alerts. This opens the Create Alerts dialog box.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter an alert name of South African Sales. Enter an alert message of Sales within South Africa.<\/li>\n

    {Customer.Country} = \"South Africa\"<\/code><\/p>\n

      \n
