Adds Barcode and Formatted Text controls to the Web Designer.
Features
- Specify a limit on how many pages of a report are rendered when previewing - Administrators can ensure that very large reports will no longer slow down other report execution requests. For instance, if a report has 1000+ pages, you can specify that only 10 pages should render in the preview. In addition, users can now cancel long-running report previews and force full reports to run.
- Web Designer enhancements
- Barcode and Formatted Text controls have been added to the Web Designer.
- Data Visualizers have been added to the Web Designer. Data Visualizers allow you to create small graphs to make your data easier to understand. For example, you can red flag an overdue account using the Flags Icon Set as a background image. Several types of Data Visualizers are available through a dialog linked to properties on the Image and TextBox report controls.
- Shared dataset refresh in RDL and Page Reports. Now when a shared data set gets modified, you can refresh this data set in a report that uses it. When opening such a report in the Web Designer, a notification message will specify what data fields have been changed and ask you to save the report with a new data set version.
- Smart filters have been added to semantic datasets. This new dataset query filter in RDL reports adds more flexibility and performance to filtering data in a semantic dataset.
- Additional enhancements
- Re-balanced semantic model-based datasets to increase intuitiveness.
- Added property descriptions to the property panel.
- Improved the behavior of semantic data models in the Web Designer. Data model relations are now determined intuitively when a semantic data model is created, meaning that the main entity of a data model is displayed automatically as the top of the data set.
- While designing reports, the default styles are now automatically applied to the controls that support style feature (Table, Tablix, Chart, Bullet, and Sparkline). So the users don't need to set the styles manually each time they add new control. The default styles can be later easily modified from the Style property.
- Support for stored procedures has been added to dataset queries.
