Crystal Reports is the campus standard for reporting and data generation from Augusta University information systems. Reports can retrieve data from Banner and other databases in bulk form to create lists and spreadsheets. Data is most often rendered in Excel format.
Effective use of Crystal requires training and knowledge of both Crystal reports and the data from the information system it is extracted from. Employees with approved access to university systems (e.g. Banner) and an established “need to know” may obtain access to Crystal and specific Crystal Reports by completing a System Access Request Form and submitting it to banneraccess@augusta.edu for review.
