Use Easy View variables to customize how reports run

Easy View has built in variables that can be used in place of dates, times and names. Instead of hard coding dates into a report you can use the Easy View variables to feed custom parameters. For example you can set up a schedule to run the first day of every month and feed parameter into the report with the first and last day of the previous month. There is no need to go back every month and enter new dates. This helps maximize the use of each Crystal Report.

The variables can also be used in the email subject or body to customize an email. If you are exporting a report, the variables can be used in the export file to make a new folder or put the date in the name.
