Now you can add a new component, navigate to the required report item or change a property value with just a few keystrokes.

The Report Server Manager now has improved views, supporting different page sizes and custom column sortings

NEW

• The views containing tables/grids in Report Server Manager now allow users to set page size and apply sorting, which will be persisted in the local browser storage.

What's Improved

NEW

• Reordering reports in report books from the design surface has better visualization of the place of the dropped item
• IDefinitionStorage methods are now asynchronous
• Editors that invoke Assets Manager have better design and improved UX
• Table columns in Assets Manager grid view now support resizing

What's Changed

CHANGED

• Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IDefinitionStorage interface is extended with new members to support more scenarios for working asynchronously with report definitions. All custom implementations of this interface need to include the new members.
• Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IResourceStorage interface now extends a new interface: Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IAssetsStorage. All explicit implementations of IResourceStorage interface must reference the new interface.
