機能

• Web & Cloud
  • Drilldown Function in the Web Report Designer: The drilldown function is now also available in the Web Report Designer. This allows your users to gain even deeper insights into their data. A simple click on a drilldown link is enough to obtain detailed information. This makes data analysis much more efficient for your users. Instead of searching for relevant information, they can see all the details at a glance. The drilldown function is especially useful when working with large and complex data sets. Users can identify relationships and trends more quickly and make more informed decisions.
  • Accessibility on the Web: VPAT for Section 508 Compliance: This release helps you meet the accessibility requirements of Section 508. Specifically, the Web Report Designer and Web Report Viewer have been optimized to achieve the best possible results in Lighthouse accessibility testing and validation by MS Accessibility Insights. The controls support various assistive technologies, allow full keyboard operation, and are compatible with screen readers. In addition, users can customize the display by adjusting font sizes and contrasts to suit their needs.
• Reports
  • Embedded Fonts in Project Files: This new feature allows you to embed fonts directly into your project files. This has many benefits, especially for applications running in Docker containers or on web servers.
    • Ensure font availability: Regardless of the environment or web server limitations, your CI fonts remain available at all times.
    • Easy handling: The new project property automatically lists all the fonts used in the project. You have the flexibility to decide which fonts to embed.
    • Consistent output: Embedded fonts are provided at runtime on the server, ensuring that output is always formatted correctly as intended.
    • Time-saving: The tedious installation and management of fonts are no longer necessary, making it easier to set up and maintain your projects.
  • "Apply Immediately" Property for Report Parameters: With the new "apply immediately" property in List & Label, the report is automatically re-rendered as soon as a parameter is changed. Whether on the desktop or the web, the "apply immediately" property works in both technologies. This means:
    • Faster workflow: No more interruptions caused by manual updates.
    • Improved user experience: Changes are immediately and intuitively visible.
  • New Barcode: Design QR Code: With this release, List & Label enables the creative design of QR codes. Use logos and images, and vary module sizes and shapes for unique designs. This allows you to create appealing and functional QR codes, such as the Swiss QR code for invoices.
  • Optional Vector Rendering of SVG Files: SVG files can optionally be rendered as vectors. This results in a sharper and more accurate display regardless of the zoom level. It also reduces file size because vector graphics typically take up less space than raster graphics. PDF export supports vector rendering for most SVG files, ensuring consistent quality.
  • New Dialog for Editing the Repository: With the new repository editing dialog, you can now manage the elements for your report directly in the designer. Users can easily add, delete, rename, or move project files and other assets to other folders.
• .NET
  • Support for Microsoft .NET 9: With this release, you can now benefit from support for .NET 9. Develop modern and powerful applications with the latest features and improved performance.
  • New Time Zone Function for Server-Based Reporting: Handling time zones in server-based reporting is often a complex challenge. List & Label now offers an effective solution with the new TimeZoneInformation property of the .NET component. This feature allows you to define separate TimeZoneInfo instances for the client and the database. The result: Correct timestamp conversions that ensure data is always adjusted to the time zone of the report consumer.
  • New Azure SQL Data Provider: The new Azure SQL data provider is integrated into the .NET 6/.NET 8 NuGet package of the SqlConnectionDataProvider and provides direct access to the data in your Azure SQL databases.
  • New "NamespacePrefix" Property for JSON and CouchDB Data Sources: With the new "NamespacePrefix" property in List & Label, you can use multiple JSON and CouchDB data sources in a single DataProviderCollection. This opens up new possibilities for data integration and management. By using namespace prefixes, you can use multiple data sources in parallel and avoid conflicts.
• FireDAC component
  • Extensions for the Delphi FireDAC Component:
    • Export: The Export method in the VCL component makes it easier to create silent exports - i.e., without user interaction.
    • Localization: New dictionary support simplifies the localization of your projects. Define custom translations for tables, fields, and other static text to make your reports available in multiple languages.
    • TDesignerWorkspace: With TDesignerWorkspace, you can customize the designer to your needs, such as locking individual menu items, functions, or objects for editing.
• Report Server
  • Send Email per Record for Serial Mail: With the new "email per record" function in the Report Server, you can now send a separate email for each individual data record in a report.
    • Example: You have a scheduled report with invoices, where each invoice contains the email address of the customer. With the new function, each invoice is automatically sent to the respective customer without requiring any manual intervention.
    • Automatic recipient assignment: The email addresses are taken directly from the data in the report, ensuring error-free and automatic assignment.
    • Easy configuration: The function can be used by simply activating the corresponding option in the report settings.
    • Automated sending: The entire sending process runs automatically, minimizing administrative effort.
  • Duplicate Connection Strings: This feature saves valuable time and minimizes potential errors by allowing you to easily copy and modify existing connections. Data sources can be set up and maintained more quickly, especially in complex projects with many database connections.
  • New features in List & Label that are also now available in the Report Server:
    • Embed fonts in project files.
    • Design QR code.
    • New prefix field for CouchDB data sources for better differentiation when using multiple CouchDB views.
