You must be able to run SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform reports to use this feature.
The Business Objects Crystal Report widget provides an area where a report that has been run using Business Objects can be displayed on the home page. Whereas the Favorite Reports widget contains links to run reports, the Business Objects Crystal Report widget actually contains the results of a single report embedded in the widget. Multiple widgets can be placed on the page to view multiple report results. However, after placing a widget on the page, configure the preferences before adding another widget.
Only reports that have been designated as widget-compatible in the Reports module can be displayed in this widget. When importing Business Objects reports using Suite Manager, the report will be set to non-widget compatible by default.
To Configure a Report to Display in the Widget:
1. Open the home page.
2. Click on the Customize your home page link at the top of the home page.
3. In the Toolbox, drag-and-drop the Business Objects Crystal Report widget onto the panel.
4. On the Business Objects Crystal Report widget, click on the down arrow next to the widget name and select the Preferences menu command.
5. Click on a report to display. Select any parameters for the report as needed.
6. Select the size of the report window and the default size of the report.
7. Type a name for the widget.
8. Click the Save Preferences button.
