The GroupExplorer tool window should preserve the width of its columns when changing the currently selected item on the designer surface. The current behavior is to set all column widths to their defaults when the selection changes or the selected component is being modified.

In organizations like ours, it is not allowed to store the user id and password in appsettings.json. It is becoming a common practice to use AccessToken in the connection string rather than a username and password. For example, in Azure. It would be great if AccessToken could be supported out of the box in the SqlDataSource.

Currently, the XLS export format is not available in .NET Core projects. Please, bring back this option.

Currently, when using the ODBC Microsoft text driver to connect to a text file, the Query Designer in the Standalone Designer throws Object Reference Not Set To An Instance of an Object exception.

Currently, the auth token is not yet passed from the client to the service. For that reason, it would be nice if the bearer token can be passed with the Web Report Designer API Requests.

In the secure and session based environment, it may take a while to design a report. Meanwhile, the session may expire. Or even anything could happen e.g. internet loss, power loss. In that case, all of the designs that the user has made after spending a lot of hard work and time; are lost.

There should be an auto-save feature in Report Web Designer. It would be great if this is API based. e.g. AutoSave(true/false), AutoSaveInterval(seconds), etc.

Hi

I need to adjust line spacing in multiple line textbox but currently there seems to be no way to do that. Please add this feature!

Thanks

Hello, 

 

It would be nice if Telerik Reporting supported an organizational chart type like in ASP.NET AJAX. See the following image for a reference. 

 

Sometime the design of the report is too complex (the graphic design) and using a table for suppressing repeating values is not possible.

It would be really nice to have the Suppress if duplicated property in the textboxes so as to be able to use it in the detail band, also it should repeat it only on the first detail of a new page.

 

It would be nice to add a network graph to one of the available chart types. Below is an example of what I am referring to. 

Please, add an option to use Turkish Characters as Ş,Ü,İ in QR code and other barcodes.

For conditional sorting I use a formula like this:

=IIF(Parameters.SortBy.Value = 1, Fields.id,
 IIF(Parameters.SortBy.Value = 2, Fields.name, Fields.value))

 

This works perfect.

 

Now I would like to do the same with the sortings direction! Something like:

=IIF(Parameters.SortOrder.Value = NULL, ASC, IIF(Parameters.SortOrder.Value >= 0, ASC, DESC))

 

Sadly, the Direction-Field/Dropdown does not support formulas.

 

Currently, it is impossible to access the DataSource parameter values after they have been evaluated from the expressions in the report definition. The data from the data items cannot be accessed either. In some scenarios, it will be very helpful to be able to access this information, for example, in the report events.

Hi,

I'm not reporting an issue here, just making a suggestion about a minor change that I would consider as an improvement.

I'm loading at runtime a report template that was created using the standalone report designer. I'm dynamically replacing all the 'DataSources' of the report, and thus I have to go through all the items of the report to find them all.

The first step is to flatten all the items with a recursive call, starting from the 'Report'. I get a list of ReportItem, and I can cycle through this list and find those that inherits from 'DataItem'. From there, I just have to pick all the distinct DataSources from these DataItems.

And it almost works, except that I'm missing the DataSource from the Report itself, as the Report class does not inherit from DataItem but implements IDataItem.

If IDataItem was public, I could simply use it instead of 'DataItem', but as it is internal I have to handle a special case. And I don't like that.

Maybe I'm missing a good reason to keep this interface internal, but if not my suggestion is to make it public.

Regards,

Olivier

The Web Report Designer's current layout is not flexible and cannot be customized. It will be useful to allow changes in the designer template, styles, etc.

For example, in some scenarios, the users should not be allowed to add DataSources to the report. In this case, the DataSources components should be hidden or disabled, which currently can be achieved with custom jQuery code.

In other scenarios, it may be necessary to change the styles of the designer elements.

It will be useful for the designer to expose also events.

I have a following default code in a html file for a web designer.

$(document).ready(function () {
            $("#webReportDesigner").telerik_WebReportDesigner({
                persistSession: false,
                toolboxArea: {
                    layout: "list"
                },
                serviceUrl: "some url",
                report: "some_report_name",
            }).data("telerik_WebDesigner");
        });

I have also a custom report storage implemented from IDefinitionStorage, where I have a GetDefinition("some_report_name") method implemented in a custom way. In order to do that, I need to send additional parameters from a web designer (html code provided previously) but don't know how to do that. 

For example, I need to open SalesInvoice.trdx file and I do a following: report: "SalesInvoice.trdx". If i need to send additional parameter, let's say some kind of token, there is no good place to send it. As a work around, i am doing report: "SalesInvoice.trdx&token=123". The problem with this, it is appearing in a title of a web designer and I don't want that. In an attachments, there is a screenshot where it looks good with a simple name and the one which has a token in it.

So, the question is, can I send other parameters as well from a client side of web designer to the server like parameters or so?

In a HTML5 ReportViewer we can send report file name and parameters as a reportSource like this:

                    serviceUrl: serviceUrl,
                    reportSource: {
                        report: reportUrl,
                        parameters: reportParams,

Can we do the same? Or how can I do that?

Hi Telerik Team,

 

We are having report parameters up to 30. For better UX we need to group parameters into sections. Please add this feature.

 

Attached is an example of what we want to achieve.

Currently, you need to add the Web Report Designer manually following the steps here:

https://docs.telerik.com/reporting/web-report-designer-setup-in-net-core

https://docs.telerik.com/reporting/web-report-designer-setup-in-dot-net-framework

It would be nice to have templates in VS as an easier way of adding the Web Designer.

Please, add an option that would allow the direct usage of Entity DataSource in .NET Core.
