With the first release of 2021, the Web Report Designer functionality is further developed to match the capabilities of the Standalone Desktop Report Designer. The Table item now comes with basic tooling to apply row and column changes to an existing item. The Map item has a new item setup wizard for an easy getting-started experience. And the CSV data source wizard now supports all properties of the respective component.
Next-Level Report Engine by Telerik Report Server
With R1 2021, we continue to enhance the Telerik Reporting Report Engine:
It is now much easier to implement form type reports by setting a design-time background of the form itself to easily recreate it using the corresponding report items. By default, this background will be invisible when running the report. The other update that makes it much easier to mimic a particular form in a report is the cross-section item.
We added industry-leading vector representation of SVG images in PDF documents.
We improved the stability of the report pagination and as a bonus introduced the ability to dynamically change the height of the PageHeader and PageFooter sections using Bindings.
Report Preview Cancelling
Often the report creation ends up with extensive reports, which require significant amount of rendering time. Report Server introduces an option to cancel the particular report generation to spare server resources for other requests.
