24.3.5 Updating reports created in earlier versions of Crystal Reports
It is recommended that you reset the datasource location of reports created with Crystal Reports 8.5
and earlier versions of the Integration product. To do so, you must reset each report's database location.
24.3.6 Security
Crystal Reports supports Siebel's security to ensure that sensitive information can be managed. Every
time users run reports against Siebel data, they must log on with valid Siebel user credentials. This
ensures that users are able to access only the information that they are permitted to by their Siebel
credentials.
Note:
In the case of the Local (Active Dedicated Session) option, there is no logon prompt, as the user has
already logged on using the Siebel Mobile/Dedicated Web Client.
24.3.7 Views
Crystal Reports allows reports to be produced with any of Siebel's available visibility settings. These
settings can be changed for any given report. Thus, a single report can be filtered to show different
views of its information. For example, a report showing Accounts can be filtered so that only the accounts
available in the My Accounts view or the My Team's Accounts view are visible.
24.3.7.1 The View Mode field
In each table, there is a field called View Mode. This field is designed to be a filter that allows the visibility
to be changed. For example, if you want the report to show the PersonalView, you can add a selection
to set the View Mode field to PersonalView.
Note:
When accessing data from Siebel, Crystal Reports represents business components as tables. Crystal
Reports does not access Siebel tables when using the Integration product connection.
