FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Software Forces SPL 2
(Smart Pick Lists) service pack 1, for Crystal Enterprise 9 Released
Software
Forces enables dynamic values for parameter pick lists with SPL 2 (Smart Pick Lists) for Crystal
Enterprise 9 and ePortfolio. Service pack 1 brings several new features.
SPL 2 integrates with Crystal Enterprise 9 ePortfolio and supports both View-On-Demand and Schedule. SPL 2 can also integrate with a custom frontend of your choice using our Smart™ API SDK.
"With this service pack, we’ve addressed a few feature requests from our users. I’m pleased that we were able to address them so quickly.” said Gennady Kleyner, Software Forces product manager.
“Having to constantly update parameter pick lists in Crystal
Enterprise is a very daunting task, especially if you have a vast number of
reports to manage. SPL 2 offers a very
well designed and easy to use solution to this problem. Not only is the tool easy to administer, but
it is also easy to integrate with ePortfolio even if you have
customizations. SPL 2 has dramatically
helped us to focus on report design and publishing by knowing that we can
populate parameter pick lists as needed using SPL.” said Greg Steindl, Minitab
Inc.
What's New in Service
Pack 1 (SP 1)
Improved support of parameters based on stored procedures. A parameter built from a stored procedure allows a single value to be sent back to the stored procedure. Now you can override this (with out modification to the report) to support multiple values and control the delimiter used to separate the values.
Added refresh support to SPL 2 managed reports. If parameters were modified in the original report (added, re-ordered, removed, renamed), it is now possible to refresh these updates to an existing managed report. This allows existing settings to be retained.
Our MMC based snap-in for management now supports using CE Logon Tokens if desired.
Added support for additional viewers such as HTML, ActiveX, Java, etc. in addition to the previous DHML viewer.
