unmanaged report - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  An unmanaged report is a Crystal Reports document that is not managed by the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise platform. It is a standalone report that is not stored in the repository and does not have access to the security settings of the platform. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Unmanaged reports can be created using the Crystal Reports Designer, which is a separate application from the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise platform. Once created, unmanaged reports can be opened and viewed in the Crystal Reports Viewer, which is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise platform. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating unmanaged reports, it is important to remember that they are not managed by the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise platform and therefore do not have access to its security settings. As such, it is important to ensure that any sensitive data included in an unmanaged report is properly secured.
