Telerik Reporting will introduce a GenAI-powered assistant in the Web Report Designer (WRD) to simplify the creation of data presentation items. This feature will allow users to describe their reporting needs in natural language and instantly generate styled, data-bound visualizations. Each proposed report change will be approved or rejected by the user, providing complete control over the result. The initial release will focus on Graph and Gauge items, powered by a set of Design-Time Tools that manipulate the report model and trigger commands in the design-time environment. Future expansions will be guided by the user feedback we collect.

We will focus on modernizing the Web API for Telerik Report Server for .NET. The goal is to overcome some identified limitations, meet the modern standards, and ensure long-term stability with minimal breaking changes. The new Web API will align with usability and security best practices. The new API will be accompanied with client-side library for easy utilization.

We are introducing Client Access Licenses (CALs) usage visibility in Telerik Report Server to ensure license compliance and simplify user management. This feature will protect exceeding the number of enabled users based on the license key, helping administrators stay within their purchased limits. Expect clear UI indicators, error messages, and simple provisioning process to support CAL tracking and resolution.

Report Server will introduce a new permission allowing administrators to explicitly control whether users may view sub‑reports without direct read access. By default, sub‑reports without permissions will not render, improving data security. Customers needing permissive behavior will be able to enable it selectively at the report or category level.

We are enhancing the Report Server by adding support for connecting the newer Standalone Report Designer for .NET (SRD.NET) to the existing Report Server connectivity layer. Today, authors can already design and publish reports using the classic Standalone Report Designer, and with this update, teams will be able to use the newer SRD.NET as well—without changing existing workflows. This improvement brings modern authentication, updated technology, and a consistent design experience across both designers while maintaining full compatibility with current Report Server publishing capabilities.

All defined improvements to the Web Report Designer defined in the Telerik Reporting Roadmap will also be available to the Report Server users so that they get more productivity and flexibility when implementing their report definitions.

All the reporting engine improvements defined on Telerik Reporting Roadmap will also be available in the Report Server.

After introducing Raw Data export feature to the Standalone Report Designer tool, we will match this functionality in the Web Report Designer. The feature enhances working with data while designing and previewing reports. Report creators will access unified raw data export during design time through the data source wizards and on demand. When previewing the report document, the users will have access to the plain data behind each data item like Table, Chart, or the Report itself for export.

We will enhance the Scheduled reports' delivery allowing to send the reports in one common email to all subscribers.
