Crystal Reports Scheduler is a business intelligence application that is used to design and generate reports from a variety of data sources. Not only do crystal reports provide dynamic data analysis, but they also contain up to date information. Crystal Reports also enable automation of reports which is a very efficient way of conducting business.

How a Crystal Reports Scheduler works

Crystal Reports scheduler software can offer some significant benefits to your company such as saving time and money. You can schedule to run the reports and deliver them to specific emails at specific times. You will be able to choose when to run your crystal reports and what kind of trigger to use.
