"Crystal Reports" generates a blank report that uses your cube as its data source. You can now add
objects to the report.
Multiple Structures and Crystal Reports
The MDX Query driver recognizes Multiple Structures and allows you to use them in your Crystal reports.
Multiple Structures show in Crystal Reports as a single dimension. That is, they show with no attributes.
The structure consists only of the members that are in the query.
Saving reports to BW
After designing a report based on a query, you can save the report to a role in BW. At the same time,
you can prepare the report for translation or automatically publish it to SAP BusinessObjects Business
Intelligence platform.
Before saving your report, check its title by clicking Summary Info on the File menu. The title that appears
here is displayed to users in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform. The technical name
of the query is used as the default title, but you can replace it with a descriptive title that is more
meaningful to SAP users.
Tip:
Use the Save As command on the File menu to save the report to disk.
