What's New in Q3 2011
Version 5.3.11.1116, released on November 16, 2011 Interactive Logical Report Layout (vs Print Layout)
Starting in Q3 2011 Telerik Reporting introduces a new logical report layout, which improves the interactive user experience in all report viewers. The new
logical layout removes the strict restrictions for report pagination
on the client by utilizing a simpler paging algorithm, which allows it to render reports faster. For example, if you use the crosstab's
drill-down feature, the crosstab will expand its subcategories faster,
because it will not recalculate the report's page size. Rather, this
action will simply stretch the report.
The new mechanism is
based on soft page breaks, where the report is optimized for
screen-based viewing and delivery. In other words, you could have a
two-page long table which to appear in a single continuous form on the
client with a vertical scroll bar (logical layout); when printed, the
table will print on two separate sheets of paper (print layout).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The new interactive layout is the default report layout which your users will see when you upgrade to Q3 2011. It can be switched off in design time.
The old Print Preview layout will remain as is, i.e. the paging there will be
calculated based on the page settings. During the preparation of the
report for printing, the latest state of the report will be printed,
such as expanded/collapsed crosstab categories. The Print Preview will
not be interactive, because it will be dedicated for printing only.
Watermarks
Watermarks in Telerik Reporting allow you to
embed information (image and/or text) into the report. Such information
can be (but is not limited to) verifying the report's authenticity, the
identity of its owner, or the sensitivity of the data in the report.
Unlike
other reporting solutions which provide this functionality by using a
simple background image (which the tool also supports), the
watermark in Telerik Reporting can be set to be in front of the
report information, or behind it. You can easily customize the
properties of the watermark, such as transparency and
orientation, through the page settings in design-time.
