External reports enable you to specify any URL and store it as a
report. For example, you can specify a URL for a report created in an external
reporting tool, such as Crystal Reports. This external report can then be
combined with other Crystal Reports or
SBM reports in
a
Multi-View report.
Note: Because
External reports are not tied to a single application, they
are stored in a separate folder in the
Browse Reports area of the navigation pane.
All
External reports you have privileges to access
are available in this folder.
