DevExpress Reports & BI Dashboard — June 2025 Roadmap (v25.1)

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing DevExpress Reports and DevExpress BI Dashboard for your software development needs.  Our June 2025 release (v25.1) will include features designed to enhance the document generation process, improve user experiences/accessibility, and as you might expect, extend AI-powered capabilities.

Once you've had the opportunity to review our June 2025 roadmap, please share your feedback, requirements, and/or questions using the DevExpress Support Center discussion links below. 

Reporting

Document Generation Enhancements

Improved Label and Table Cell Text Formatting (Discuss This Feature)

All Platforms
Planned

Our next release will allow users to define line spacing for displayed text/values within the DevExpress Report Designer. This capability will enhance readability and provide greater control over individual report layouts. Users can directly modify line spacing for basic report controls to improve multi-line text clarity and reduce the memory footprint associated with the XRRichText control.

Time Zone Conversion (Discuss This Feature)

All Platforms
Planned

With v25.1, DevExpress Reports will be able to convert UTC date and time values to the viewer's local time zone. This feature is essential for applications with a global user base, as it ensures that all users analyze report data in their respective local time zones.

User Experience

Web Report Designer — MongoDB Data Source Wizard (Discuss This Feature)

Blazor ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React
Planned

The DevExpress Web Report Designer will allow users to create new data sources using MongoDB connections and schemas provided by application developers.

Web Report Designer — Snapping to Grid (Discuss This Feature)

Blazor ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React
Planned

We will allow end-users to activate a Snap To Grid snapping option. This will allow report controls to automatically align to the report grid when moved or resized.

Accessibility

Enhanced Accessibility within Report Viewers

Blazor WinForms ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React
Planned

We are committed to improving accessibility compliance across all supported platforms. These enhancements will help us achieve even better support for assistive technologies and compliance with industry standards.

IDE Integration

Visual Studio Enhancements (Discuss This Feature)

Visual Studio Report Designer for .NET
Planned

We will continue improving startup time, stability, and resilience of the DevExpress Visual Studio Report Designer for .NET.

JetBrains Rider Support (Research Phase) (Discuss This Feature)

JetBrains Rider for .NET
In Development

We recognize the growing popularity of JetBrains Rider and will research ways to extend our tools to support this environment. During the v25.1 release cycle, we will actively explore DevExpress Report Designer support for JetBrains Rider.

AI Enhancements

WinForms Blazor ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React
In Development

In our v25.1 release cycle (June 2025), we will introduce multiple AI-powered capabilities to streamline report creation, improve data visualization, and expedite localization. These features will help users design, analyze, and preview reports more efficiently.

AI-powered Report Designer & Viewer (Discuss This Feature)

• AI-Powered Localization — Automatically translate report content into multiple languages, reducing the energy required to create reports for a multi-lingual user base.
• Intelligent Error Resolution — The DevExpress Report Design Analyzer will suggest and apply fixes for common errors to help users resolve issues quickly and achieve expected document output.
• Automated Layout & Styling Enhancements — AI-driven recommendations will optimize report layouts and ensure a professional design that follows best practices.
• AI-Generated Data for Print Preview — Users can preview reports with AI-generated sample data before connecting to a live data source. This will introduce faster design iterations and report layout experiments before integrating DevExpress Reports into an app.
• Natural Language to SQL & Expression Bindings — Report creators will be able to describe their data needs in plain language, and AI will recommend SQL queries or expression bindings automatically.
• And More..

Web Report Designer Overhaul

Blazor ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React
Planned

As part of our ongoing effort to modernize the DevExpress Web Report Designer, we will initiate a comprehensive revamp and phase out the Knockout.js library and implement a new public API without KO. This transition will enhance the performance and maintainability of the control. Additionally, this change aligns with our long-term plan to introduce native Angular and React components for seamless integration with modern web solutions.

BI Dashboard

Data Handling Improvements

WinForms WPF Blazor ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC Angular React Vue
In Development

DateOnly & TimeOnly Support (Discuss This Feature)

The DevExpress BI Dashboard will support DateOnly and TimeOnly values for the following:

• Binding dashboard widgets to data
• Creating dashboard and query parameters
• Using calculated fields
• Applying time-based filters (e.g., range filter)

Request Parameters (Discuss This Feature)

Dashboard creators will have the option to display a parameters window before a dashboard loads and aggregates data. This will allow dashboard viewers to customize the initial state.

Accessibility Enhancements

WinForms Web
In Development

WinForms Dashboard — UI Automation

We will add keyboard navigation and screen reader support to the DevExpress WinForms Dashboard control.

Web Dashboard — General Accessibility Improvements

We have conducted an internal assessment of the DevExpress Web Dashboard component and are going to address all identified accessibility issues to enhance the experience for users relying on assistive technologies.
