## Commands overview

Pre-defined reports created with Seagate Crystal Reports are instantly available to any user connected to your web site via the Internet or an intranet. As a web server administrator, you are able to determine how data is accessed from your web site and exactly how much of the data is available. The Web Component Server provides several commands that can be appended to URL requests. In addition, the Web Component Server provides the option of automatically prompting users for security information, stored procedure parameters, and parameter field values.

Note: The features described here allow you to control access to report information on a limited basis. Although the commands described in this section provide a certain level of customization, you should consider using the RDC Automation Server to design web sites if you need more control over report data and formatting at runtime. Information about this method can be found in the Seagate Crystal Reports Technical Reference Guide.
