Web Report Viewer with WebComponents
The new Web Report Viewer is based on the latest web technologies and uses so-called WebComponents. This makes it easy to replace jQuery and has the enormous advantage that the Web Report Viewer is usable in other popular JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.
The viewer surface is optimized for all common browsers on desktop and tablet. This allows users to view reports on Windows, iOS, Linux or Android.
The functionality of the Web Report Viewer is identical to the HTML5 Viewer:
- Interactive report actions such as report parameters, drilldown, sorting, expandable areas
- Export to popular formats such as PDF, Word, Excel and many more
- client-side printing
The Web Report Viewer replaces an outdated version of the report preview in the browser. The “old” HTML5 Viewer won’t be maintained any longer. Switching or upgrading to the new Web Report Viewer is therefore recommended.
