Custom reports help you monitor the ABBYY FlexiCapture system and analyze workflow. A custom report gathers the user-defined statistics you specify, and you view it through the Administration and Monitoring Console.

​
Where custom reports are built

By default, standard reports appear in Microsoft Report Viewer, which ships with the ABBYY FlexiCapture server components. You can create custom reports in several applications, including Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft Report Builder. Gather the data for a custom report with those applications, with a SQL query, or with a stored database procedure. To develop custom reports, you need to know the application you build them in, and you need to be able to write SQL queries and stored procedures for databases running under Microsoft SQL Server.

​
Use Crystal Reports

You can also build custom reports with Crystal Reports in the Administration and Monitoring Console. This requires Crystal Reports 13.0.11.1467 or later on the computer that runs the Application Server. To enable Crystal Reports, add the following key to the <appSettings> section of the web.config file of the Administration and Monitoring Console:
With this key set, reports generate in PDF format and do not open in the preview window. This applies to reports generated in Microsoft Reports as well. For more information, see How to create custom reports using Crystal Reports.
