The Facts ...

Fact: You can not modify properties (i.e. color) of an object (i.e. text object) in one report across multiple reports with Crystal Reports at the same time! Fact: You can not search for the existence of a specific object (i.e. Line, Formula, Database Field, etc.) and/or its property (i.e. Size, Width, Definition, Name) in even one report with Crystal Reports!
Fact: You can not change the data source, set location, or convert driver on more than one report with Crystal Reports at the same time! Fact: You can not "push" your changes to multiple objects and their properties (i.e. formula object, definition property) in multiple reports with Crystal Reports. The report repository first introduced with Crystal Reports 9, while a good step forward still requires you to open each report individually and replace each object with corresponding object in repository aka "pull" changes. And before you knew it -- the way it works changed drastically in Crystal Reports 10 and XI requiring an Enterprise repository to even be useful.

Fact: You can do all of the above and more with
.rpt Inspector 3 Professional Suite!

A few examples of what you can do (visit the Features page for tool details and screen shots):

  • find all places in 100 reports where the font is Arial and change them all (or some) to Times New Roman
     
  • find all formulas in 200 reports where ".50" is being used and change it to ".55"
     
  • find which formulas / parameters / fields are not being used in 300 reports
     
  • find copy / standardize parameters default values from one report to 300 reports

With .rpt Inspector 3 Professional Suite, you get a powerful integrated suite of 16 powerful tools designed for Crystal Reports report designers, users, administrators, and developers.

Unlike Crystal Reports, with .rpt Inspector you can open one, two, a hundred, or several hundred reports all at the same time1. Which means you can use the tools in .rpt Inspector to find and filter "in common" objects and properties (formulas, parameters, parameter default values, text, headers, footers, size, driver, database, printer, schedules, instances, database logons, formats, destinations, etc.) across the selected reports, and modify them all at the same time -- all with visual feedback.


1 The actual number of reports that you can open at the same time, depends on your system resources. Our users report that they've worked with 300, 600, and even 800 reports all at the same time to modify the various properties (formulas, parameters, parameter default values, text, headers, footers, size, driver, database, printer, etc.) of the selected report(s).
