Release History

Progress® Telerik® Reporting R1 2023 (17.0.23.118)

January 18, 2023

Web Report Designer introduces predefined Data Sources

NEW

• Web Report Designer allows to create, import or export predefined connections to different data sources. These connections are stored as assets and can be referenced among report definitions. We named this feature "Shared Data Sources".

Introduce Switch and Ifs expression functions

NEW

• We implemented new Switch and Ifs functions, that are much easier to write and maintain than the old IIf function. Their behaviour is similar to what our users have already experienced with these functions namesakes in Excel.

Visual Studio item template for adding Native Blazor Report Viewer in .NET 6 and .NET 7 projects

NEW

• The Native Blazor Report Viewer can now be added to .NET  6+ Blazor Server App and Blazor WebAssembly App using a Visual Studio item template.

What's Improved

NEW

• WebReportDesigner now exposes a property named ReportViewerOptions which allows to configure the embedded Report Viewer.

What's Changed

CHANGED
