The latest service pack 30.002 for List & Label brings form controls to the Web Report Designer and Web Report Viewer, adds RAD Studio 12.3 support, and expands flexibility for OData sources in the Report Server.
Maybe you’ve already seen it on our social networks, our website, or in our livestream: at combit, we’re currently working on a new, future-oriented offshoot of List & Label — a cross-platform reporting solution that will also run on Linux. The official name is already fixed: List & Label Cross Platform (LLCP). The product is primarily aimed at developers who are looking for a reporting component that supports hosting on Linux servers.
At combit, we prioritize accessibility in our software solutions. Understanding the importance of Section 508 compliance, we have developed a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) for List & Label to help you meet these requirements.
List & Label is a reporting component that integrates with applications to provide them with rich reporting capabilities. It allows developers to create sophisticated reports based on data from any source. Easy data binding for your own VCL applications is provided by List & Label’s FireDAC component, which supports numerous data sources such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, SQLite, DB2, MySQL and PostgreSQL, as well as many other databases and formats. The control over the data for reporting always remains with the application itself.
This is our last blog post about what’s new in List & Label 29, so let’s take a look at features we haven’t presented yet. Highlights include native .NET 8 assemblies, new data providers, and enhanced report design options.
The features of different data providers vary widely. Depending on the data source, sorting, native aggregate functions or filters at database level may be available directly. Or not. For example, none of this is available in file-based formats such as JSON or XML, or even in “web” formats such as REST. These are typically read “front to back” and therefore cannot offer sorting or native aggregation. With List & Label 29, we have something new to offer.
List & Label’s most recent version 29 is coming along with quite a fe exciting news for the Web Report Designer and the Web Report Viewer. These updates provide improved functionalities and enhanced usability to developers and end users alike.
A frequently asked question was: “Why can’t I see the relations in the report designer?” This question refers to the variable/field window, in which 1:1 relationships were displayed, but not (the usually much more important) 1:n relationships. In short, our answer was always: “The relations are there, but only in the object window, e.g. when creating tables”. We even put the long answer in a Knowledgebase article.
The Web Report Designer is a central element if you’re using List & Label in web applications. We’re constantly improving and adding to it, and with the release of version 28, we’ve added many new objects and functions again. Here’s a quick overview of the new features.
This blog post was prompted by a discussion in our forum. One of our customers, who’s been using List & Label since 1995 (which actually goes back longer than my own experience!) sent us a message, telling us that due to fear of errors, he usually waits for up to a year after the release, before finally implementing a new version. Right here, I’d like to explain why I don’t think that’s a good idea, and give you a bit of an insight into our quality assurance. We want you to feel good about using List & Label in your applications on a daily basis.
