Hello all
 
I am looking to recreate a functionality available in DeskI in Crystal XI.
 
When you create sections/ breaks in DeskI, there's an option View--> Outline which introduces tiny triangles at each break so you can collapse or expand to see the summary or detail info correspondingly.
 
Is there any such option in Crystal...
 
I have the detail section and a group on the top of it. In the report I would like to hide/unhide to see the group level summaries or detail under each group... Any ideas??
 
Thanks

Look into drill-down.  That might give you the capability you are looking for.  Unfortunately, it implements it by opening the hidden records in a separate page, rather than simply toggling them to appear/disappear.

Is there anyway to display the hidden records (or a subreport) in the same page in Crystal XI instead of having it always open in a new page?

Not to the best of my knowledge.  Though, it would not shock me to discover that someone had written a function that would export Crystal into HTML, with in-place drill-down implemented.  It's never been a requirement for me, though, so I'm not familiar with any.
