I have a report with a column that repeats values and would like to suppress the repeats. In other report writers I have worked with (SSRS, Crystal, ...) it is a right click and you select suppress duplicate values from a checkbox. The result is that duplicates on the same page are hidden, and when a new page begins the first row will show the value and then it is hidden for subsequent rows. (See attachment) I am optimistic that this functionality exists and I am simply not looking in the right place.
In some scenarios it might be useful to alter the compression of the responses returned by Reporting REST service.
Let us know if collapsing report sections in report designer would make the designing of reports more convenient for you. When reports have more complex structure with a lot of sections collapsing some of them might improve the overall design time experience.
A common scenario is to specify the printer name when printing a report. Currently, this can only be achieved with manual printing where you can pass the PrinterSettings object(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printersettings(v=vs.110).aspx) with specified PrinterName as a parameter to ReportProcessor.PrintReport method. Let us know if you think exposing the PrinterSettings object (for example as the setting of the viewer) would benefit when working with reports. Please share your thoughts and ideas on this topic in the comments. Thank you.
Using a report book with individual page numbering for each reports and a separate page numbering for all pages in the whole book. Example in attachments.
Add an event to ReportBook to fire when a Report is loaded and when a Report is Disposed.
We use ReportProcessor.RenderReport to create each report in code. When done, we need to know the number of pages in the report.
Hi, I request to support Legend of circle/line/rectangle etc. in all series so that the developer can choose the shape, as the recent trends in finance are flexibility in legend shape. Currently there is no flexibility in having circular Legend for Pie Charts. Please incorporate it in your release at the earliest. Thanks and Regards, Swanand
Currently, NoDataMessage property is available for Table/List/Crosstab, Graph and Map items only (http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/report-structure-dataitem-set-no-data-message) Providing NoDataMessage property for reports as well will simplify the approach to display the message in case no data is returned from report's data source.
DOCX document format supports font embedding like PDF does. But currently only the PDF font embedding is implemented in Reporting. This, together with recent implemented PrivateFonts feature, will give us an option to use one more document format without the need to install custom fonts on the client's machine.
Currently in Telerik reporting, when we apply sorting it works on all selected columns together in a complex format. It also leads to confusion when user applies sorting on two or more columns as all of them have the sort icons. Single column based sorting would help end user to easily access and understand the action. In this approach user will see sort icon only on the currently selected column. Please provide the support for single column based sorting in Telerik reporting to ease the use of sorting functionality.
The telerik configuration has to be provided by app.config / web.config. (http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/configuring-telerik-reporting)
In a huge solution this makes it necessarry to define the same settings multiple times. (app.config for UnitTests, web.config for WebFrontend, app.config for Workers.) I prefer to implement configuration just once programaticaly.
Please provide a public interface for configuration so that we can inject configuration from commandline / azure / configfiles / ...
For private fonts the feature is implemented but all methods are marked private. so I have to call this things by reflection:
//<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
//<configuration>
// <configSections>
// <section name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=11.0.17.406, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be" />
// </configSections>
// <Telerik.Reporting>
// <privateFonts>
// <add fontFamily="Poppins Medium" path="c:\poppins\Poppins-Medium.ttf" />
// <add fontFamily="Poppins Light" path="c:\poppins\Poppins-Light.ttf" />
// <add fontFamily="Poppins SemiBold" path="c:\poppins\Poppins-SemiBold.ttf" />
// </privateFonts>
// </Telerik.Reporting>
//</configuration>
var fontContainerType = typeof(Telerik.Reporting.DataSource).Assembly.GetType("Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Common.FontContainer");
var fontContainer = fontContainerType.GetField("Instance", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static).GetValue(null);
var methodAdd = fontContainer.GetType().GetMethod("AddFont", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
methodAdd.Invoke(fontContainer, new object[] {"c:\\poppins\\Poppins-Medium.ttf", "Poppins Medium", "regular"});
methodAdd.Invoke(fontContainer, new object[] {"c:\\poppins\\Poppins-Light.ttf", "Poppins Light", "regular"});
methodAdd.Invoke(fontContainer, new object[] {"c:\\poppins\\Poppins-SemiBold.ttf", "Poppins SemiBold", "regular"});
Please support OData services as built-in report datasource. We would like to use Telerik Reporting and Report Server but the missing support for OData is holding us back.
Diagram attached. When there are sub reports and KeepTogether would require a dataset to use multiple pages the report renderer fails to honor page breaks. Rather than use the new page it should be using to present the page, it bleeds onto the prior page which has a page break set. See Ticket #1144729 for all the relevant information regarding the version, setup etc. and attached examples. I was directed here to the feedback portal so your staff has led me to believe this is an existing issue with the current iterations of the report project. Additionally me original forum post below. https://www.telerik.com/forums/keeptogether-not-honoring-page-breaks
In the "Configure SQL Data Source" window. Let us be able to maximise the window for the "Select Statement". First, the query builder can do nothing as soon we use a little bit complexe query. And for long query, it's a pin in the ass to work with two scroll bars. Thanks
I have a requirement to implement multiple report with same content except the table content. Table content is binded through List(by ID, fetch details from table). Can you please guide me, what should be my approach?
The Shape item supports custom-generated shapes, but currently this can be achieved only programmatically. It will be useful if the user could provide its own Shape implementations that is supported by the report designer.
Provide CanShrink property to report page sections so they can change their size dynamically depending on their contents. It will be very useful in scenarios where items in the page section are hidden conditionally and page sections needs to resize, allowing the detail section to use the available space.
In the standalone report designer, when I copy and paste a group of adjacent TextBoxes, overlap warning icons appear on some of the pasted items. I then tried moving the group of pasted items to a new snap-to-grid location, but the icons do not go away. This can create a good deal of work to clear up the warnings by individually adjusting the affected items. In the attached report, the three items in the report header are the original TextBoxes without overlap. The three in the detail section are the cut and paste items showing overlap warnings. The three in the page footer section are the cut and paste and move items still showing overlap warnings. After submitting this as a support ticket, I received this message from Telerik: "The development team found an issue in the Copy/Paste logic and updated it. The change will be available in the next internal build for tests." I was using 2017 R2, version 11.1 17.614.
