While the creation and design changes of Crystal reports (.rpt files) require the full Crystal Reports software, you can let other PCs view, print, and export these reports by installing DataLink Viewer. DataLink Viewer provides several useful features such as command line API (allowing you to schedule printing and trigger viewing of reports from your application, task scheduler, batch files, or desktop shortcuts), an intuitive Grid for organizing and selecting previously opened reports, reduced login frustrations via integrated authentication, choice of alternative data sources, selective parameter refresh, dynamic and cascading parameters even for versions prior to XI, auto-refresh, user-based row-level security, and more.
