Adding an additional page to end of a Crystal Report - crystal-reports

I have a report for orders and I'd like to add an additional page at the end that states the orders' Terms & Conditions. Can someone help me?

In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

If you want a complete new page to the end of your Crystal report just make 2 subreports inserted into one main report with Details a and b.
To do that:
Make the two subreports and save them;
Make a new main report and insert another Details section(Report->Section expert..., select Details - >Insert)
Onto Details a insert 1st subreport
Onto Details b insert 2nd subreport
Right click on 1st subreport -> Change Subreport links: select each Report fields and transfer them on the right side(Fields to
link to), click on the right side on each parameter (named like
?#Parameter1) and select the coresponding parameter.
Repeat the previous step for the 2nd subreport
Report->Section expert..., click on the Details b and check New page before.
That would be all.

Create page header and details sections

I have created four database fields: ChargesView, CommodityView GeneralInfoView and LumpsumView
So I want ChargesView with header and its details, CommodityView with header and its details.
Ex:
I want crystal reports to be like:
Report Header
Page Header
Details
Pageheader
Details
Report Footer
Page Footer
As far as I know, you can't insert a PageHeader between 2 Details.
In this case, you have to use sub-reports.
Right click on DetailSection > Insert Sub-report > Choose an preexisting report or create a new one.
A subreport is a report item that displays another report inside the body of a main report.
Use subreports for the Details section
Write a subreport for ChargesView's Details section. Write another subreport for CommodityView's Details section. Place these subreports into separate Details sections for your main report, and activate New Page After for both sections.
If you need the Page Header to change based on which subreport is being displayed, you can make multiple Page Headers and suppress them based on a shared variable. (When your ChargesView section displays, set the shared variable to charges. Then have the Charges header only display when your variable is equal to `charges.)

Crystal Reports: Setting subreport parameters with one main report parameter [duplicate]

How can we pass a parameter from the main report to a subreport in Crystal Reports XI? I have a parameter in the main report. Now, I want to pass the same parameter to subreports. Please help me.
Right-click on the subreport object and choose Change SubReport Links, then select how the parameter is to be used by the subreport.
Using CodebyMoonlight's solution requires a relation between main report and subreport.
If there is no relation between both of them, you can use Shared Variables to pass values between both of them, as shared variable can be set and displayed anywhere in main report or sub report.
Shared NumberVar x := 5;
Perform following easy steps:
Create New Parameter lets say "StartDate" in Parameter Fields in Field Explorer in Crystal Report
Create New Parameter lets say "StartDateSubReport" in Parameter Fields in Field Explorer in your Subreport
Now in Main report file, Right Click Subreport lets say "EmployeesList.rpt" and click Change Subreport Links menu
Select "StartDate" from Available Fields from Available Fields Tab and click on ">" button to make it vailable to link in subreport
Now bind your "StartDate" which you have made available by selecting it with "StartDateSubReport" in dropdown available in "Subreport Parameter Field to use"
parameter sharing between main report and sub report "Right-click on the subreport object and choose Change SubReport Links, then select how the parameter is to be used by the subreport." works for me
I had the same problem. The main report loaded first and then the subreport. You have to load the subreport before you can use the variable.
I think that using
Right Click and Sub-report Links
or
Shared Var Between Report and Sub-report
Both using Selection formula so it is suitable for limited data only
Selection formula working after loading all records from Database table ... report loading bad performance
so i'm tring to limit rows by passing some parameter from C#/VB and send others from main to sub report
For example if you need the transaction of items in period and you can pass the period parameter from application (c# ..) and using Sub-report Links to send itemID

Create a parameter field in the main report.
From the main report, right click on the subreport, and select Change Subreport Links.
In the subreport linking window, select the parameter field from the window labeled "Available Fields", and click on the ">" button to move it to the window on the right labeled "Fields to link to"
Below, make sure you have a check next to Select data in subreport based on field.
Below the checkbox, if it is not already there, select the field from the subreport, to which you would like the parameter field linked.
Click OK

Detail field, linked to new report

I have a main report in Crystal Reports XI that I am using which has fields ProjectNumber, DateOfEvent1, DateOfEvent2, ProjectCategory.
I would like to either have an additional detail field OR hyperlink one of the existing fields so that on click it will open a new table with other records specific to that row's ProjectNumber.
I've used a parameter field with a subreport but cannot get it to dynamically create reports specific to the clicked row. I can only create full reports with all the fields (i.e. for ALL ProjectNumber).
"Hyperlink to another report object" for an existing field seems like an option, but I can comprehend how that is supposed to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Add an "on demand" subreport:
insert a subreport; check "on demand subreport"; click "Report Wizard":
click "Link" tab; link main report to subreport:
place subreport in desired location; right click and format report; choose "subreport" tab:
add a formula for both captions

Combine all SSRS reports in the Grid into one report

It should be very simple and should employ multi-value parameters , but not able to figure out how ? This report takes parameters from the GridView I have a gridview in an asp.net web page which has print button for every row to print this report for that row.
Now, there are as many reports as there are rows in the grid.---[This part is done]
So,how about combining all these reports into one single report
You can add a subreport for each one of you reports.
You just create a new report and start inserting subreports in each row.
Check this documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220581.aspx
Here's an example for you:
1 - Create a new report. You can then add a tablix to it, in case you have more info, which is the case in my example. Just don't forget to add a dataset to that tablix if that's your case.
This is how it would look
Each gray line is a subreport.
2 - To insert a subreport just right-click a cell and go to Insert > Subreport
3 - Right-click your subreport, select Subreport Properties and choose your report from the drop-down menu:
4 - You can then set the parameters your subreport will receive:
Case 2: if you don't need a tablix for aditional info, just repeat the same process in a Rectangle.
UPDATE
As I said in my comment, here's one report in which I do exactly what you want:
As you can see the subreports are part of the main report's body that has other data.
I need to repeat these subreports for each record and that's how it is done.
Here you can see the Id being passed as parameter to my subreport:
From what I understood, that's what you want. That way for each record its current Id would be passed to the report. Generating a report with that "dynamic" parameter you mentioned.

Using subreport in crystal reports 8.5, How can we stop overlapping it with the end of the main report?

I've created a new report using crystal reports 8.5.
In it, I've used 3 sub reports and they are positioned in main report vertically.
My question is, How can I stop overlapping them with each other and also with the down border of the main report?
thank you
If you split the section they're in into 3 sections (eg, Report Header can divide into Report Header a, Report Header b and Report Header c), and place one subreport in each, the sections will expand to fit their contents in and the subreports should no longer overlap.
One solution that I found is to do following:
Right click on the details page and choose "Section Expert..."
In the opened dialog box Sections column click on
the Details(preferred) or other section and click on Insert button above.
In the newly inserted section add your new sub report.
Thanks
