Richmond SupportDesk Web Reports Module User Guide

Introduction

SupportDesk’s reporting functionality has been enhanced and updated to use Crystal Reports 2008. With this release the reports module now encompasses an entirely web-based user-interface, which offers the following benefits to users:

Centralised Reporting & Administration

Reporting functionality is now centralised removing the need to have components stored locally on a machine making administration simpler whilst saving client side resources.

Improved accessibility

Reports can easily be accessed via a web browser either across a local network or the internet. With web reports there is no need for the SupportDesk client to be installed to view reports.
