We’ve compiled a list of features we’re considering for our 2020 Reporting Roadmap. We encourage you to cast your vote for each item described below. We thank you for your time and consideration.
Table of Contents
Translate Report Documents to Different Languages
You’ll be able to provide different translations for report controls used within End-User Report Designer.
Parameter Enhancements
Bind JsonDataSource Parameters to Report Parameters
You’ll be able to pass report parameter values directly to JsonDataSource.
Numeric Range Parameter
We’re going to extend range parameter capabilities to support integer and float values and provide a single editor in the parameters panel for these new options.
Parameter Editor Grouping
You’ll be able to logically group multiple report parameters in the parameter panel (display editors in a Group Box).
Select All Multi-Value Parameter Values By Default
You’ll be able to pre-select all values for a multi-value lookup parameter.
Visibility of Parameter Editors
You’ll be able to hide a parameter editor based on the value used for a different parameter.
Document Viewer, Report Designer, Query Builder - Complete 4K Display Support
We will address all known HighDPI/4K display issues in 2020. This includes extensive testing and Per Monitor Dpi Awareness Support.
Report & Dashboard Server - Object Data Source Support
You’ll be able to deploy a custom data access assembly and use its methods to provide data to reports and dashboards.
PDF Export - Visual Signatures
We hope to introduce visual signature support within exported PDF files via a new report control.
PDF Export - The Ability to Generate Drop Down AcroForms
We want to extend the capabilities of Content Editing. We’d like to help you create and display drop down editors within the Print Preview. We will retain the editors and their data source values upon PDF file export.
Excel Export - Html-Inspired Content Support
We want to give you the ability to export reports that contain XRLabels with the AllowMarkupText property enabled to Excel (while preserving the content formatting).
Excel Export - RTF Content Support
We want to give you the ability to export reports to Excel files and preserve XRRichText content.
Excel Export - Memory Consumption Enhancements
We want to overhaul our Excel Export engine to consume less memory during the export process (for extremely large documents: >1M rows with image data).
RDLC Conversion Tool
We’d like to extend our import tool and allow you to convert your RDL / RDLC reports to DevExpress Reports.
Performance Enhancements
We will allocate significant resources to decrease memory consumption and increase the document generation speed.
Web Report Designer - Ribbon Toolbar
We want to replace the toolbar with a compact ribbon similar to that used in our ASP.NET Core Rich Text Editor component:
We’d like to hide the Actions panel and move its items to ribbon tabs (which will be control-specific, and selection driven - Action panel items replicate report control smart tags used in our Visual Studio Report Designer):
Document Viewer - Anchoring of Report Controls
The use of XRControl.AnchorHorizontal property will produce expected results when changing a report’s page settings (like orientation, paper kind and margins in Print Preview). The controls will be anchored to the specified side of a parent container.
New Barcode Types
We want to add support for the following barcode types:
- Pharmacode
- Aztec Code
- Maxicode 2D
Please tell us which of the following are most important to you:
Rounded Corners
We want to help you define a corner radius for XRLabel and XRPanel borders.
Embed PDF Documents into a Report Document
We want to give you the ability to insert a PDF file into a report and define its content boundaries within a document.
Report Designer - Script Editor Enhancements
We want to enhance the Script Editor in our Report Designer. Your feedback will help us finalize plans for 2020.
