If you are a database administrator who spends the day generating Crystal Reports for your business users or customers, and forwarding them by email to tens or hundreds of people, you are probably wondering if there's a way to do your job more efficiently. As you generate report after report and fill in the email addresses for forwarding you must wish you could save all that time and get down to doing something that adds real value to your organization. Using report scheduling software you can create scheules for each of the reports you need to forward and set the time or day you want them generated. Then all of your reports will be automatically generated and forwarded to the business users or customers that require them.
