Using the underlay feature with maps

Since maps can only print in certain areas and sections of your report, the underlay feature makes mapping even more useful. Instead of having a map print before the data it represents, you can have the map appear alongside the data, thus making the report easier to read and easier to understand.

To underlay a map
  1. Create your map and place it in the Report Header section.

    For more information, see Creating maps.

  2. On the Insert menu, click Section.

The Section Expert dialog box appears.

  1. In the Sections area, click Report Header, then select the Underlay Following Sections check box.
  2. Click OK.

    Seagate Crystal Reports returns you to the report. Your map will now underlay the sections below it.

  3. If necessary, move or resize the map.
