EspressReport v5.2 New Features
- Cascading Parameters:
This allows users to control the order
in which users select parameter prompts. After users select one parameter,
the prompt for the second parameter is created with the first prompt value
applied to the query filter and so on. This feature can limit the number
of distinct entries users have in a drop-down list.
- XML Report Updates:
When users elect to save a report in XML
format, all sub-reports and drill-down levels will also be saved in XML.
- Dynamic Arrays in Scripting:
User's will now be able to create
dynamic arrays in report scripting.
- Set Query Timeout:
Users can now set a parameter (EspressManager
or via API) to set the maximum amount of time a report query will run.
Once the query execution time exceeds this threshold, the query execution will stop.
- QbReportDesigner with class file:
Users can now launch the Report
Designer via the API with a class file or parameterized class file as the
report data source.
New Chart Features
- Draw Dial Charts as Half-Circle:
Allows users to draw the
dial plot as a half-circle instead of the full circle that is currently
always used.
- Radar Chart Circular Grid:
Users can now draw the radar
chart grid as a circular grid in addition to the segmented grid.
- Radar Chart Control/Constant Lines:
Users can now add control
or constant lines to a radar chart. The lines draw at a specific point
around all the axes. The line can be drawn in circular or segmented form.
- Radar Chart Cut-Off:
Users can now specify a MAX cut-off point
for Radar Charts. Any time data points for any of the radar axes exceeds
this threshold will not be shown in the chart plots. Fill area/lines will draw
up to the cut-off threshold.
- Max Y Cut-Off for Scatter Charts:
Users can now specify a MAX
Y cut-off for scatter charts. Any point that falls beyond this Y range
will not be shown in the chart plot. Connecting lines will draw up to
the cut-off threshold.
- Titles for Multiple Axes (API Only):
Users can now specify a
separate title for each axis when using the multi-axis overlay presentation.
- Control Area Scale Labels (API Only):
This feature allows users
to draw value labels at the beginning and end points of control areas. The
labels will show the numeric value of the start and end points.
- Customize ImageMap Hint Box (API Only):
Users can now customize
the default hint text that gets generated with a chart image map.
