Reporting in HIFIS 4 (with Crystal Reports)
Interested in learning to develop reports using Crystal Reports for use in HIFIS 4? We offer interactive training that is responsive to your needs.

It covers charts and graphs, locating and verifying the correct data sources, linking tables together, and troubleshooting. The training is divided into four, 3-hour segments.

Part 4
You're a wizard now
You choose what would be the best use of your time. Most students find it most valuable to use this time for supervised practice, where you come up with a report you need to make and we build it together. Other students may wish to move ahead to more advanced topics.
Accelerated Training
We offer another variation of the training which is condensed into 6 hours instead of 12. This variation is intended for:
- People who already are comfortable with Crystal Reports, but new to pulling data from HIFIS, or
- People who are already pulling data from HIFIS (using SQL, Tableau, Power BI, or other means), but who are new to Crystal Reports.
This accelerated version does not cover all of the content in the curriculum, although it covers most. It is only offered as a 1-on-1 training option and will fast forward through the parts of the training that are already known to the student.
For example, if you already use Crystal Reports regularly, we can skip much of Part 1, which is mostly an introduction to the software.
If you already are comfortable pulling data from HIFIS using SQL, we can skip much of Part 3, which mostly covers where to pull data from.
