Report Runner Web Portal 2012 has been released! The biggest new feature is the way parameters are now handled. With our earlier versions of Web Portal, you had to remember your parameter descriptions. Now we import and create them for you! Lastly, another new feature is the ability to format the date display within the parameter field. You can set it to MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY, or YYYYMMDD.
If you’re looking for an easy, inexpensive way to post your Crystal Reports to the web/internet, you owe it to yourself to check out Report Runner Web Portal. You’ll find it much easier to implement than Crystal Server or Crystal Enterprise, too! Contact us for a FREE, 45 day evaluation!
By the way… one other thing… Report Runner Web Portal is a GREAT way to run Crystal Reports on your iPhone or iPad device. Check out our live demo on your favorite mobile device!

Report Runner 2012 is now shipping! How’s that for shipping ahead of schedule?!
Here are the new features…
Batch:
Full support of Crystal Reports 2011
Support for uploading to Sharepoint (added as a Destination Type)
Support for exporting to and reading RPTR Crystal Reports templates (introduced with Crystal Reports 2011)
Support for exporting to XLSX (introduced with Crystal Reports 2011)
Job window now displays Jeff-Net variables (like jnOutputFile and jnBurstEmail) if found in report
Viewer:
Full support of Crystal Reports 2011
Support for reading RPTR Crystal Reports templates (introduced with Crystal Reports 2011)
Support for exporting to XLSX (introduced with Crystal Reports 2011)
Added “EZ” print button (INI setting) for viewer usage on touch screen systems.
Differences between 2011 and 2012:
2011 utilized .Net 3.5 technology; 2012 utilizes .Net 4. Why? The new Crystal Reports 2011 runtime engine required .Net 4, so we upgraded the app to utilize .Net 4 as well.
2011 utilized the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime engine; 2012 utilizes Crystal Reports 2011.
The new Batch and Viewer features indicated above are exclusive to 2012, and 2012 is the version that will get any new features going forward. Should there be any bugs in 2011, we will fix those of course, but all new development is based on 2012.
