    Link is a feature in SAP Crystal Reports that allows users to connect to data sources and create reports. It enables users to access data from multiple sources, such as databases, spreadsheets, and text files, and combine them into one report. Link also allows users to create complex reports with multiple levels of detail. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use Link in SAP Crystal Reports, users must first create a connection to the data source they wish to use. This can be done by selecting the “Connections” tab in the main menu and then selecting the type of connection they wish to make. Once the connection is established, users can then select the data they wish to include in their report. They can also add filters and sorting options to further refine their report. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a report with Link, it is important to remember that the data sources must be compatible with each other. For example, if one data source is a spreadsheet and another is a database, they must both be in the same format for Link to work properly.
