Depending on the report, a Selections window can appear, allowing you to narrow down the reporting criteria. - Select the reporting criteria you require and click either Print or Print Preview.
A notification message may be displayed while Synergetic is busy generating the report. - If you selected to preview the report, or the default is for the report to be previewed, you can use one of the Crystal Reports icons (listed below).
Note: The Crystal Report menu screen is non-modal. This means that you can still access other windows within Synergetic while it is open. You can also launch multiple report selection screens while still having access to other windows in Synergetic.
