### Report Viewer features

Seagate Crystal Reports provides rich and powerful reporting features for data analysis and presentation. Ideally, when a user accesses a report over the the Web the report retains these features. Several of the Report Viewers are designed to provide this power as it exists in the original report.

Web administrators often have important reasons for choosing one web technology over another when presenting information on a web site. When deciding on the Report Viewer technology used on your web site, you should consider the reporting features provided by each Report Viewer and be aware of any limits that a particular web technology might impose on the Report Viewers.

The following table illustrates the major reporting features available in each of the Report Viewers:
