Extending “Expandable Regions” to Groups

ByJochen BartlauAug 30, 20182 min read
In Version 19, we introduced a new feature called "expandable regions". When activated on a top-level table, this will enable to dynamically collapse and expand the table's sub items in the preview and HTML5 viewer.
Export Files Directly From the Preview

Export Files Directly From the Preview

So far, it hasn't been possible to export to all of our export formats from the preview window. The simple reason is that we're using the EMF file format internally while the exporters need completely different information that cannot be extracted from the EMF. Thus, we were only able to support image file formats and – of course – PDF, which is created from EMF vector information.

This is the first of two blog posts presenting the new features of our combit Report Server in the upcoming version 24.

List & Label's powerful filter options could not be used for all data sources so far. Reason is, especially for web based data sources, it is not possible or feasible to get "all" data first and then filter to the desired subset. The upcoming version 24 comes with a powerful new feature that addresses this very issue: Parametrized Data Sources. It allows to combine data source parameters with actual report parameters in the Designer.
